Adding editable rows dynamically to listview (c# windows form)

[EDN Admin]

Hi,
I am new to c# windows application.
I have added a listview programatically to c# win form. I want to add a listview row (editable row) dynamically on click
of Add button so that user can type new items and save it.
Please see the code which adds a listview and adds some item to the list view.
private ListView listView1;
private Button AddBtn;

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
// adds listview to the form
AddControls();
// Adding products to the listview
AddProducts();
}
private void AddControls()
{
listView1 = new ListView();
listView1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 12);
this.listView1.Name = "listView1";
this.listView1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(250, 175);
this.listView1.TabIndex = 0;
this.listView1.UseCompatibleStateImageBehavior = false;
this.listView1.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.Details;
// Adding listview header
listView1.Columns.Add("Product name", 100);
listView1.Columns.Add("Search string", 100);
this.Controls.Add(listView1);
// Adds a add button
this.AddBtn = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
this.AddBtn.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 211);
this.AddBtn.Name = "AddBtn";
this.AddBtn.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
this.AddBtn.TabIndex = 2;
this.AddBtn.Text = "Add";
this.AddBtn.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
this.Controls.Add(AddBtn);
}
// Adds products to the listview
private void AddProducts()
{
IDictionary<string, string> products = GetProducts();
foreach (var p in products)
{
ListViewItem lstItem = new ListViewItem(p.Key);
lstItem.SubItems.Add(p.Value);
listView1.Items.Add(lstItem);
}
}
// Gets the products
private IDictionary<string, string> GetProducts()
{
IDictionary<string, string> products = new Dictionary<string, string>();
products.Add("product a", "a");
products.Add("product b", "b");
products.Add("product c", "c");
products.Add("product d", "d");
return products;
}

Is it posible to add a new editable row to the listview so that user can type a new product name and new search string
and save it using another save button.
Thanks for the help. Your help will be heighly appriciated.
Thanks.
Regards
