Remarks

Use the NodeIndent property to control the amount of spacing between the left edge of a child node and the left edge of its parent node.

Note

The NodeIndent property affects every child node in the TreeView control. It is not possible to control the indentation amount of each node individually.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
