Properties of TreeNode

[wabs27]

Hi,

I am pretty new to TreeView and ran into a bit of a problem. I am currently populating my treeview from a datareader and it is working fine with the parent and child nodes. My problem is that I need to display the FieldName from the database, but I still need the FieldID value to make changes to the database. So for instance, if a certain node is selected and a button is clicked, I want to be able to know the FieldID - not the FieldName. Currently I can do TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text to get me the FieldName or TreeView1.SelectedNode.FullPath to get me the full path. But this is useless to me since I need to FieldID (primary key field for my database).

I know that with other .net controls there are DisplayMember and ValueMember properties. Is there a way to do this with a treeview.

P.S. - How do you add code snippets into these forums?

You could store the id in the Tag property of each node.

About code tags: http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/misc.php?do=bbcode You can also use advanced posting editor click one of the code buttons to automatically wrap selected text with tags.

Thanks for informing me about the tag property. That does the job for me.

Thank you.
