Remarks
When the TreeView control is bound to a data source, use the Text property to specify the value to bind to the Text property of a TreeNode object. This binding relationship affects all TreeNode objects to which the TreeNodeBinding object is applied. The Text property is used to specify the text displayed in a node.
Note
You can selectively override the Text property by setting the Text property of each node directly.
Instead of using the Text property to bind the same text to each node, you can bind the Text property of a TreeNode object to a field of a data source by setting the TextField property.
The value of this property is stored in view state.
The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
