Hi,
I have never used treeview, but some kind of recursion should do the
trick, like (pseudo code):
void AddElement(Node currentNode, string stub)
{
int I = stub.IndexOf("/");
string newNodeName = String.Empty;
if (I < 0)
{
//this is last part, so if needed add element
//and escape
if (!ElementExists(currentNode, stub)
currentNode.AddElement(stub);
return;
}
//if we are here, there are more parts in the stub
string newNodeName = stub.SubString(I);
Node nextNode = currentNode.FindNodeByName(newNodeName);
if (nextNode == null)
{
//there is no subnode with that name,
//so we need to create one
nextNode = currentNode.AddNewNode(newNodeName);
}
string nextStub = stub.Substring(I, stub.Length - I);
//recurse
AddElement(nextNode, nextStub);
}
Something like this :)
I Do not know if TreeNode has these methods (AddElement, FindByName,
etc.) or you have to implement them, but still this is the way.
