C# - Can you data bind a TreeView control?

Question

Typically, when I use the standard TreeView control that comes with C#/VB I write my own methods to transfer data in and out of the Tree's internal hierarchy store.

There might be ways to "bind" the GUI to a data store that I can point to (such as XML files), and when the user edits the tree items, it should save it back into the store. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

The following article should let you do what you want.

edit If you don't need something quite as elaborate as the above, the following mught be easier/more appropriate

edit2 Seeing as you want this to respond to changes in the treeview, you'll probably want the first option.

Answer 2

I know ObjectListView (http://objectlistview.sourceforge.net/html/index.htm) has a TreeListView available.

Maybe that can also help you.
