I've got it, I found that this methood worked best for me. For anyone else with a similar problem, this is the fix. The code below gets the item that has been selected then matches the item to my database and displays the name of that person(DataRow)......

Private Sub EditButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles EditButton.Click

Me.Child_InformationTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Child_Information_DatabaseDataSet.Child_Information)

'Check which item has been selected'

Dim Count As Integer = Me.ListView1.Items.Count

Dim AddFromZero As Integer = 0

While AddFromZero < Count

If ListView1.Items(AddFromZero).Selected = True Then

Dim SelectedDataRow = Me.Child_Information_DatabaseDataSet.Child_Information.Rows(AddFromZero)("FirstName") + " " + Me.Child_Information_DatabaseDataSet.Child_Information.Rows(AddFromZero)("LastName")

End If

End While

End Sub

Thank you, but this probably would not work for what I am doing. I need to find out how to utilize the ListView.SelectedItems component and connect the item to the database rowfrom which the item text has been coppied from. This is what I have so far.....

Child_Information_DatabaseDataSet.EnforceConstraints = False

Me.Child_InformationTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Child_Information_DatabaseDataSet.Child_Information)

For Each CurrentRow As DataRow In Me.Child_Information_DatabaseDataSet.Child_Information

Me.ListView1.Items.Add(CurrentRow.Item("FirstName") + " " + (CurrentRow.Item("LastName")), 0)

Next
