If it were the checkboxes pointed to you enable this by setting Treeview property CheckBoxes = True.

Adding nodes to Treevview in done with the Nodes property and Add method. TreeView1.Nodes.Add(...)

To display different images for nodes you first add ImageList to form and add some images to it. When adding nodes you choose which index of imagelist to use.

Treeview control isn't using data binding, you get your data and add the nodes manually through code according to the hierarchy there may be.

can i know how is it possible to do so.. that is adding treeview to the database

You can add what data you want to database, and you can add what nodes you want to Treeview control, but you can't use regular database binding between them. Perhaps you could if you found a third-party treeview control that provided this, but not with the standard control, there you have fill data manually as I said.

ok then i don know what to do with my problem.. i think i should explain the problem and see if any one over here can give some idea..
i am making a project related to mobile contacts where mobile contacts will be stored in a database say in the given below format.

|| Name(PK) || Contact No 1 || Contact No 2 ||
now say in the frontend if we want to add contact numbers from the DB to some textbox or something like that in Dynamic manner how should i proceed..
i have some ideas i will tell u..
1>>>>In gmail when we compose a new mail as u type a single letter in the TO field then all the contacts related to that letter gets displayed.

2>>>>You might have seen the customize tool bar option which comes when we right click on the tool bar of MY COMPUTER
so in that one side our database and the other side our selected items..
