How to debug TreeNodeCollection

Question

The code in question:

TreeNode categoryNode = categories.Nodes[category]; //BREAKPOINT HERE
categoryNode.Add("New Node")

My question is less about the code itself (it all makes sense to me), so much as the debugger. When at the break point I want to look at the TreeNodes in categories.Nodes, but categories.Nodes is a TreeNodeCollection and I can't find the underlying list, array, or whatever is actually used under TreeNodeCollection's hood.

How do I navigate the TreeNodeCollection so that I can find the actual list in question?

Answer 1

Look at individual nodes in the collection with categoryNode[0], changing the index. Or drill down into the private owner property. Its children field gives you a list of all the nodes. Or if Linq is in scope, you can type

 categoryNode.OfType<TreeNode>(), results
