title: How to find a listview by name in Windows Forms
body: <p>I have a Windows Forms form on which there are a few listview controls. Currently, if I ever need to add some changes to those listviews, I have to specify all names in my code. It is troublesome if I have to list a few names at each time. So I am wondering if there is a way to retrieve a listview control just by providing a name string. Something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Controls.find(name of listview)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>Controls.Find(name,true)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it returns an error. What is the reason?</p>
