.Except into a listview

Question

I have two lists.

public IList<string> List1 { get; set; }
public IList<string> List2 { get; set; }

I am trying to compare two lists using Except and display the items in a ListView

I have this code to display in the ListView

var list = List1.Except(List2).ToString();
ListViewItem listView = new ListViewItem(list);
this.testListView.Items.Add(listView);

The output I get is "System.Linq.Enumerable+<ExceptIterator>d__72'1[System.String]"

I know I am doing something wrong but cannot figure out what is it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Can you try this(assume you want to show one string in one row, though it's strange not use ListBox):

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //add Columns, which you might have done in designer
        //this.testListView.Columns.Add...
        this.testListView.View = View.Details;
        var list = List1.Except(List2).ToList();
        for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
        {
            ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(list[i]);
            this.testListView.Items.Add(item);
        }
    }
