Okay, I've been looking all over for a way to do this and ended up working it out for myself. So even though this post is a few years old, I've decided to post my results. The following code is for a multi-column (7 columns) ListView in VB.net 2005...

Private Sub ChangeRowColor()
Dim i As Integer, x As Integer
For i = 0 To ListView1.Items.Count - 1
For x = 0 To 7 ' for 7 columns
If OddEvenVal(i) = 2 Then ' Call to function to determine if row is even
Me.ListView1.Items(i).SubItems(x).BackColor = Drawing.Color.Gainsboro
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

Private Function OddEvenVal(ByVal lngValue As Long) As Integer
If lngValue And 1 Then OddEvenVal = 1 ' Odd
If (lngValue And 1) = 0 Then OddEvenVal = 2 ' Even
End Function
