Remarks
Use the ShowLines property to specify whether the lines that are connecting child nodes to parent nodes are displayed. When this property is set to true
, the TreeView control searches the Web-accessible folder that is specified by the LineImagesFolder property for the line images.
Note
If the LineImagesFolder property is not set, the TreeView control will use the built-in, default images (20 x 20 pixels).
The value of this property is stored in view state.
