Does anybody know of a really good 3rd Party Treeview Control for C#

Question

I am involved in a project where I have the need for a really rich treeview control. The application is written using WinForms in C#. The treeview control in .net seems to be fairly limited. It is lacking in several ways:

• multiselection, can't select multiple nodes at the same time
• poor drag support for repositioning items
• Poor label editing support
• Poor support for control over how all the elements are drawn & custom painting(everything from the + next to the node, the little dots that make up the tree, icons and text)

I will likely end up having to write my own from scratch but before that happens I though I would check to see if any 3rd Parties have seen an opportunity here and beat me to it..

Thanks for any advice.

DevExpress also makes great controls and I have used them in the past. You can find more information on their TreeView control here:

Developer Express has some excellent controls for WinForms, ASP.NET and WPF. I've been using their products since 2000, back when I was a Delphi developer.
