            e.Cancel = true;
            e.NewWidth = 0x0;
        }
    }

It looks like you are using a 'hidden' first column to piggy-back a value. This is exactly what "Tag" property is used for.

var listViewItem = listView1.Items.Add(rowData);
listViewItem.Tag = id;

You can then retrieve this later:

var selectedListViewItem = listView1.Items.SelectedItems[0];
var selectedID = (int)selectedListViewItem.Tag;

There are settings in Windows which can affect the firing of ColumnWidthChanging event - and ways to work around it. But I would recommend not going there if you do not have to.
