First, there are unsupported Microsoft Internet Explorer Webcontrols. One
of the webcontrols is a TreeView. You can find info on those at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/webcontrols/over
view/overview.asp. I've been working with this TreeView and have decided
(this is just opinion) that it is not quite ready for prime time use. If
you're always going to have ~40 or less nodes on the tree, it might serve
you well enough but don't push it.
Second, there are commercial 3rd party controls available. I would
recommend looking at Infragistics offerings. I have not tried these yet for
myself, but extensive combing through newsgroups seems to suggest that these
are ready for prime time. You'll find information about their TreeView
offering here:
http://www.infragistics.com/products/navigation.asp?sec=0&cat=0
Next, I should add that Microsoft - as far as I know - plans to update and
include the IE Webcontrols in their roll-out of ASP.NET 2.0. One may make
the assumption that M$ would update the webcontrols, making them ready for
heavy use - but you can probably guess where making assumptions can take
you.
Finally, please know that the best forum for discussing IE webcontrols is
not quite this newsgroup, but rather
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.webcontrols
I hope you've found this information helpful,

Hi:
I need to implement TreeView in my asp.net application. Does asp.net
include one natively or do I have to use a 3rd party control? Any
recommendations for a 3rd party TreeView control?
thanks,
Charlie
