How to contruct a series of treeViews

[SalimZaabi]

How do I contruct a series of treeViews to display a folder with subfolders and files ?? I tried but all my tries were stuck on the second subtreeView!!
how to keep the treeView going whenever there is a subfolder??

Please provide the relevant code you have mostly working and we'll see what we can do to help you fix it up.

Have you looked at the MSDN tutorial for this common need?

You'll notice that the "GetDirectories()" method calls the "GetDirectories()" method. It calls itself. This is commonly known as 'recursive'.

Basically it gets a list of files and folders.
For each folder it finds, it calls itself to get a list of files and folders...
For each folder it finds, it calls itself to get a list of files and folders...

Each file and folder become a node of the treeview.
Each node can contain another node, which represents the next hierarchy of folder.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
 
 
            string[] m = Directory.GetDirectories(@"C:\KeysFolder");
 
            for (int cc = 0; cc < m.Length; cc++)
            {
 
                DirectoryInfo FolderName = new DirectoryInfo(m[cc]);
                string[] p = Directory.GetFiles(m[cc]);
                treeView1.Nodes.Add(FolderName.Name);
 
 
 
                //===============================================================
            }
 
            foreach (TreeNode tn in treeView1.Nodes)
            {
                string[] bb = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\KeysFolder\" + tn.Text); 
                foreach (string c in bb)
                {
                    FileInfo jj = new FileInfo(c);
                    tn.Nodes.Add(c);
                }
            }
 
        }

the result is getting the files only in subfolders excluding the subfolders, but also, the result shows me the files in all folders in the first folder. With second folder, shows the files of in all other folders but the first folder. in the third folder, the result shows all files of the other folders but the first and the second, and so on !!!

TIP: When you are writing your question, there is a button on the tool bar that wraps the [code] tags around your copy/pasted code. It helps a bunch. Its the button with a '#' on it. More on tags. They're cool. Check'em out.

You're kind working it backwards... Doing your "foreach" loop based on each treenode instead of on each file or folder found in your target folder.

It's a good attempt and shows one possible way of doing it, but not the easiest to follow and very prone to error as you've already found out.

Take a look at the MSDN tutorial I gave you a link to. Don't try to do the tracking yourself in the treenodes. The treenodes are the end result of the files and folders, not the other way around.

Thanks tlhintoq, I found my way out...
