Hi serge,

As per my understanding, you cannot 'directly' bind a dataset to a TreeView
control. You might have to make an XML data source from the Dataset, and then
Data bind it.

Check these links..

Hi serge,

As per my understanding, you cannot 'directly' bind a dataset to a
TreeView control. You might have to make an XML data source from the
Dataset, and then Data bind it.

That's sort of what I was working on today.

I wrote a web service that takes the result of a dataset from a DB2 database
and turns it to XML ( there's no native method for that ).

Then I return that XML as XmlNode from the web service.. and I iterate
through it with a recusive method ( from that MS article ) that adds a
treeview leaf for each XML node.


Of course I customize it quite a bit at the web service to turn some records
info into attributes and will do the same back on the treeview.
