Can anyone advise me on how well the windows .net tree view control performs
when loaded with large numbers of nodes.
I'm intersted in how it might perform when used with possibly millions of
nodes.
At what point will the control be 'over-stressed'?

I have a number of comments on this topic, having asked the same question
myself on several different occasions.
First of all the clear answer is NO. You would never want to load that many
nodes into the tree control. I remember clearly back in VB6 land that the
tree control would bog down after only adding several thousand nodes. I
think it's a bit better in .NET, but not much.
There are a couple of third party controls out there that are much better
designed to handle hundreds of thousands of nodes much faster.
BUT... all that having been said, I would turn this around on you, (as I did
to myself) and ask the question, "What are you thinking????" A MILLION
nodes? What kind of application requires the display of so many nodes at
once, and even if you could, do you really want your user having to go
through that many nodes to get where he or she wants?
Which direction are the millions of nodes? Is there a million nodes under
the root (vertical build) or does each node have ten nodes that has ten nodes
that has ten nodes, etc... (horizontal build)?
If it is a vertical build, I don't think a tree node is the right tool. If
it is a horizontal build, then I would recommend the solution I ended up
using and that is to only fetch the child nodes when the branch is
expanded... That way you are not wasting all those resources for all the
millions of nodes that will never get looked at.
Hope this helps! Good luck from a guy that's "been there, done that."

Zorpiedoman,
Thanks for your reply and good advice.
I will have to reconsider the presentation of my data.

I have a VERY LARGE pile of geographic data that I am importing into a database (db of choice is postgres,

3 million branches. I would expect the leaves to grow significantly, in number easily tripling. However, the

Hi,
I have docked a tree view to the left on a form. When I
start to populate this tree view with nodes, a horizontal
scroll box appears in the bottom of the tree view even
though thee tree view is big largely big enough to fit
the nodes and text. If I widen the tree view the scroll
bar doesn't resize itself to show the relative view size
in relation to the total size. Only if I narrow the view
to not fit the nodes, the scroll box...

Does anyone know of a good article that discusses creating a "Tree
View" control in ASP.NET? Or perhaps a Tree View Control that comes
with source code? I have come across a lot of tree controls for ASP.NET
however most of them are already compiled and don't come with source
code. I am really just looking for an example on how to create my own
Tree Control. Thanks a bunch.

Sorry for my unclear question.
Here is my problem description.
I want to know is there any possibility to implement Tree view , and assign all functionality to it i.e. copy, paste, add nodes, drag and drop. I don't want to use the built-in functions which are supported by the programming languages. I can write similar functions. Using these advanced controls/functions system performance will degrade this is the issue.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
