Populating a treeview from Text

[Maddy]

I need to populate a treeview from a text file. The data in it is in
the following form

1. (Parent Node)
(a) (Child Node)
(b) (Child Node)
..
..
..
(k) (Child Node)

2. (Parent Node)
(a) (Child Node)
and so on..

The data in the treeview will remain static. I do not need any dynamic
loading or update. It would be best if I can load the data into the
treeview during design time. I want an automated process as there are
over 50 parent nodes each with 10-15 child nodes. I dont want to sit
and type each one individually.

Thanks
Nitin

Hi Nitin,

If you read the file, parse and create TreeNodes during a UserControl load
event, the data will be visible during design time if you put the UserControl
in another Form or UserControl. Just create a UserControl and add a TreeView
with DockStyle.Filled.

Thanks for the response. But I am a newbie. Could you please tell in a
little more detail. For beginning, I dont know what a UserControl
means. (Sorry, just started on c#). Would really appreciate step wise
explanation or if you can direct me where I can get the details as I
could not find anything either on the net or the vs2008 help.
Thanks
Nitin
