This article explores how to use the ViewModel pattern to make it easier to work with the TreeView control in WPF. Along the way, we examine why people often have difficulty with the WPF TreeView, what a ViewModel is, and two demo applications that show how to combine a TreeView with a ViewModel. One of the demos shows how to create a searchable TreeView, the other demonstrates how to implement lazy-loading (a.k.a. load-on-demand).

Vista Controls is a class library that provides the ability to use the new style controls on Microsoft Windows Vista.

.NET 2.0 applications that use the Treeview, Listview, OpenFileDialog, SaveFileDialog and FolderBrowserDialog classes provided in the System.Windows.Forms assembly will find that when they run on Windows Vista, they do not use the new, Vista-style look and feel, but instead continue to use the old, XP-style look and feel.

In Vista Controls you will find five replacement classes, that will use the Vista look and feel when running on Windows Vista, and the old style on older versions of Windows. This allows you to target both Windows Vista and other versions of Windows without any additional effort on your part.

Additionally, Vista Controls includes a new control added to Vista, the Command Link. Because this control doesn't exist in previous versions of Windows, an emulated version that mimics Vista look and feel is used on those Windows versions.

This article will show how to implement a custom ASP.NET Tree View control that supports auto binding from a self referencing table. The control supports binding from a Data Source control or programmatically using the Data Source property.

A TreeView that can be bound to a DataTable, and can keep track of changes in it.

This article demonstrates how to use a ComboBox dropdown to select the text for nodes in a TreeView.

This article describes a generic application framework that may be of some use in projects that would need an interface similar to Visual Studio. The application demonstrates approaches to providing a toolbox, a workspace, an object treeview, and an object editor.

ASP.NET version 2.0 includes a wide array of Web controls not found in previous versions. One such control is the TreeView, which is ideal for displaying hierarchical data. The TreeView control can be bound to a hierarchical data source such as the XmlDataSource or SiteMapDataSource, or can be constructed programmatically.

One common source of hierarchical data is the web server's file system. In many scenarios, there may be a folder that contains subfolders and files that the user needs to be able to browse. Using the classes in the System.IO namespace, we can programmatically populate the TreeView with the directory structure of our website. Then, when the user clicks a folder, the selected folder's files can be displayed.

In this article we will examine how to create a simple image gallery web page that's a breeze to maintain. The image gallery lacks the bells and whistles found in more complex and feature-rich image galleries, but this one is a cinch to deploy and maintain. We'll be using two Web controls: a TreeView to list the folders and subfolders in which the images reside; and a DataList control that lists each image in the selected folder..

Generic dictionaries simplify common tasks, such as coordinating selection between a TreeView and a ListView—but their capabilities extend far beyond that, once you realize you can use DynamicInvoke() to execute delegates stored in the dictionary.

A lightweight class library that extends the Framework's most popular editor controls to include search and other basic functionality.
