Tree Collection in .NET

Question

When I make a list box in WPF I frequently set its ItemsSource to be a List. Is there a Tree for TreeView (or what goes in ItemsSource for TreeView)?

Is there a collection or generally accepted method for handling tree data in C#.NET?

Answer 1

What you want to do is bind a collection of hierarchical objects to the tree view using the Hierarchical Data Template.

I have written a blog post on this very subject, check it out,

Answer 2

Nothing built in as far as I know. What I usually do is something like this:

class User  
{  
string Name { get; set; }  
List<User> { get; set; }  
}  

Then you can use that to bind to your hierarchical control, such as a TreeView.
