c# - System crashing when the print button is clicked

Question

I have done like this for generating pdf at runtime when i click on the print button The process is like this when I click on the print button the pdf is generated with folder.

For that I have done like this:

private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    private const string PAYMENT_PATH = @"c:xxxxxxxxxxpaymentType_{0}";

    btnPrint.Visible = true;
    btnPrint.Enabled = true;

    string pay = cbpaymenttype.Text;
    string dds = cbddprovider.Text;

    string path = String.Format(PAYMENT_PATH, DateTime.Now.ToString("ddMMyyyyHHmm"));

    //List<paymenttypeprint> paymenttype = new List<paymenttypeprint>();

    List<printfunctions> printfunction = new List<printfunctions>();
    foreach (ListViewItem item in lstviewcashmembers.Items)
    {

        printfunctions allpayments = new printfunctions();
        allpayments.member_Lastname = item.SubItems[1].Text;
        allpayments.member_Firstname = item.SubItems[2].Text;
        allpayments.Postcode = item.SubItems[3].Text;
        allpayments.ddReference = item.SubItems[4].Text;
        allpayments.ddprovider = item.SubItems[5].Text;
        allpayments.Monthlyamount = Convert.ToDecimal(item.SubItems[6].Text);
        allpayments.MembershipType = item.SubItems[7].Text;
        allpayments.Status = item.SubItems[8].Text;
        allpayments.Enddate = Convert.ToDateTime(item.SubItems[9].Text);
        allpayments.paymentmethods = item.SubItems[10].Text;
        printfunction.Add(allpayments);
    }

    new printFunction(printfunction, new Company(mf.gBaseUrl).GetSingleLineCompanyDetails(), path, pay, dds);

    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("explorer.exe", path);
}

I have created the class printfunctions like this:

Its working fine when the ListView lstviewcashmembers has rows upto 100 or 300, but its not working when the ListView lstviewcashmembers has 1600 rows.

Enable exceptions handling in VS like here and you will gotten exact exception description. Looking on your problem description sounds like this could be rows quantity limit. By the way check out the link.
