TreeView control

[Charlie]

Hi:

I need to implement TreeView in my asp.net application. Does asp.net
include one natively or do I have to use a 3rd party control? Any
recommendations for a 3rd party TreeView control?

thanks,
Charlie

There isn't one built into ASP.Net, but the IE Web Controls may do the trick
nicely as the price is right (free).

You can find them at:
http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=7&tabid=41

Hope this helps,

First, there are unsupported Microsoft Internet Explorer Webcontrols. One
of the webcontrols is a TreeView. You can find info on those at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...bcontrols/over
view/overview.asp. I've been working with this TreeView and have decided
(this is just opinion) that it is not quite ready for prime time use. If
you're always going to have ~40 or less nodes on the tree, it might serve
you well enough but don't push it.

Second, there are commercial 3rd party controls available. I would
recommend looking at Infragistics offerings. I have not tried these yet for
myself, but extensive combing through newsgroups seems to suggest that these
are ready for prime time. You'll find information about their TreeView
offering here:
http://www.infragistics.com/products...sp?sec=0&cat=0

Next, I should add that Microsoft - as far as I know - plans to update and
include the IE Webcontrols in their roll-out of ASP.NET 2.0. One may make
the assumption that M$ would update the webcontrols, making them ready for
heavy use - but you can probably guess where making assumptions can take
you.

Finally, please know that the best forum for discussing IE webcontrols is
not quite this newsgroup, but rather
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.webcontro ls

I hope you've found this information helpful,
