.net - Indicating a selected item in a listview -

I have a list view control. NET Winforms contains file names from directories. When I first display the control, I pop the list view, then choose the first item in the list in the program like this:

  if (lvwFiles.Items.Count> 0) { ListViewItem firstItem = lvwFiles.Items [0]; First item Selected = true; }  

It works fine, except that the first item in the list should be highlighted visually (reverse-highlight?) To indicate to the user that it has been selected , As the user then clicks on one of the items.

It seems like a stupid question, but I looked at Stakeoverflow and elsewhere and did not see a clear answer. Is this an easy way to do this through a property or something similar?
