Treeview -> TreeNode -> Object

I have a treeview with a Root, a Contact Type, and a Contact. Like MSN
Messenger.

Is there a way that I can say something like

if treenode.tag is classContact then
string Surname = treenode.tag.su rname

And somehow, each time, I create the node, I can assign the object of that
classContact to that node ?

I think the 'Tag' part of the TreeNode would be used, but not sure how...

Yes, here is a sample as to how:

Thanks.

I'm looking to assign a class object that I have created, to my treenode
though...

Something like Treeview.Select edNode.Tag = myObject..

And then later, I'd like to be able to access this objects properties via
the treenode.tag. Is this possible ?

Yes,

myObjectType myObject = new myObjectType( ...);
....
treeView.Select edNode.Tag = myObject;
....
((myObjectType) treeView.Select edNode.Tag).MyO bjectProperty = newValue;

Right. That code sample does it with a DataRow. You could
just as easily do it with your class instead.

Thanks for the reply..

Getting an error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int32' to type
'Address_Book_o n_Steroids.clas sContact'.

MessageBox.Show (((classContact )tvMaster.Selec tedNode.Tag).Ti tle);

Where

tvMaster is the TreeView

Hi Craig,

Your Tag contains a number (System.Int32) and trying to cast it to classContact will then fail.
Are all your tags classContact? Or are some of them different data types.

object o = tvMaster.Select edNode.Tag
if(o is classContact)
{
classContact c = (classContact)o ;
MessageBox.Show (c.Title);
}

I've got a routine that loads a tree control. Works a-ok the first time around, then bombs the second. Works the third, bombs on the fourth....i.e. it works every other time it is invoked. Error# always the same: -2214 741 7848, but the message varies between "Method 'Add' of object INodes failed." and "The object invoked has disconnected from it's clients." The first one is more common.
