Hello Brad,
when the code steps out suddently like this, it often indicates that an exception occured. You could try to run your program under the debugger and turn on
the "Break on exceptions" feature. Here's how to do it once VS is in debug mode:
1. Go to the Debug/Exceptions... menu
2. Click on the "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" item.
3. Set the option for "When an exception is thrown" at the bottom of the dialog to "Break into the debugger"
4. Execute the line of code in question (parentNode.Nodes.Add)
In your example below you do the following:
parentNode = findNode(acctTree, levelname)
If IsNothing(parentNode) Then 'not already
present, add it
newNode = New TreeNode(levelname)
parentNode.Nodes.Add(newNode)
parentNode = newNode
End If
If the findNode method returns Nothing then IsNothing will return True and you will end up calling parentNode.Nodes with an invalid reference. So the
problem you're having might be caused by an 'Object reference not set' exception.

I'm going over a result set and adding results as levels on
the tree control.
when stepping through the code i see execution switch to
the calling subroutine as soon as the parentnode.nodes.add
is called. Seems like i'm trampling some variable (btw:
why doesn't that raise an error?)
I'm a fairly experienced programmer but i'm new to vb.net
so maybe this is something trivial...
here's my code
While rdrCCOA.Read
'results must be ordered by coalinekey and name to work
levelname = CStr(rdrCCOA.GetValue(0))
levelpart = CStr(rdrCCOA.GetValue(1))
level = CInt(rdrCCOA.GetValue(2))
coalinekey = CInt(rdrCCOA.GetValue(3))
acctno = CStr(rdrCCOA.GetValue(4))
'keep adding until coalinekey changes
Select Case level
Case 1 'create new root node if this one is not
already there
parentNode = findNode(acctTree, levelname)
If (IsNothing(parentNode)) Then 'not already
present add it
parentNode = New TreeNode(levelname)
acctTree.Nodes.Add(parentNode)
End If
Case Else 'add below that node
If IsNothing(parentNode) Then Throw New
Exception("deep node found with no parent")
parentNode = findNode(acctTree, levelname)
If IsNothing(parentNode) Then 'not already
present, add it
newNode = New TreeNode(levelname)
parentNode.Nodes.Add(newNode)
parentNode = newNode
End If
End Select
End While
