Examples
This section contains two code examples. The first code example demonstrates how to use the TreeView constructor to add a TreeView control to a page dynamically. The second code example provides sample XML data for the first code example.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the TreeView constructor to add a TreeView control to a page dynamically. For this example to work correctly, you must copy the sample XML data provided after this code example, to a file named Book.xml.

Remarks
Use the TreeView constructor to create and initialize a new instance of the TreeView class. To add a TreeView control to a page dynamically, create a new TreeView object, set its properties, and then add it to the Control.Controls collection of a container control, such as the PlaceHolder control.
