How to select treenode in treeview by name?

[Wes]

I have a treeview that I am continually added nodes to. Each time a new node
is added I would like to select that node.

Is this possible? I have looked at selectedNode, but I don't know how to
point that at a given node using the nodes name.

I have the nodes name and it's parents name. Does anyone know a good way to
find the node based on this information?

Thanks a bunch.

The easiest way to do that is probably

TreeNode node = // ... create node via Nodes.Add or whatever
yourTreeView.SelectedNode = node;

TreeNodes don't have names. I'm not sure if you mean the name of the
variable you use to reference the nodes or the Text property of the
node. Either way, it's probably easier to do as above.

Thanks for the response.

When I said name before I did mean the treeNode.text and treeNode.parent.text.

My question is how do I use the above mentioned information to get a new
treeNode object that I can select.

For Example

TreeNode myTreeNode = "how do I create treenode based on parent.text and
node.text?"
myTreeView.selectedNode = myTreeNode;
