Dynamically Load items(Images) in list view on user scroll in c#

Question

I'm using a list view control that is attached to an image list to display thumbnails of images in the list view on a form.I'm adding images from a folder to the image list by using a loop and the following code ImageList1.Images.Add(Image.FromFile("c:\\windows\\img.bmp"));

But if there are lots of images a out of memory exception is thrown(even after disposing).I want to load the images to list view which are currently visible to the user,ie:loading the images dynamically on user scroll.If 5 images are in user view i want to load only 5 images,if the user scrolls i want to get the index of the images which should be currently visible to user and load those images only.

Please help me out on this one.

Personally, I had very good experiences with ImageListView, both in terms of technology (performance) and author's reply (quality and speed).

I use it as a replacement for ListView whenever I need visual image lists.
