Web based treelist

Hey I was wondering if anyone has any class built to create and edit a treelist in C# within an aspx page. I am noticeing a few free ones out there but nothing to user friendly. I need to create a tree list pointing to word docs referenced by department and would like an left pane tree list to be able to easily navigate to each document within the tree list. If anyone has any suggestions I would apreciate it. I do not want to use an xml.node schema as I do not want to store the docs as xml.

This looks like exactly what you're looking for, assuming you can limit your users to IE5.0 or above. www.obout.com/obout/treeview/treeview.asp Since you are saying "Department," I assume this is some kind of intranet and you will be able to do that.

If not, check www.asp.net's control gallery and search for tree view. There are gobs of them and many are free. Some have a nominal price.

Um, in an unrelated note, and I hate to be this pedantic, but there are a few gramatical errors on your homepage and I took the liberty of correcting them and posting them here. I hope you don't mind -- I'm not doing this to be a jerk, it's just that I think it will look more professional with those corrected...

I created that web site very hastilly while I was out of work and do not actually use it as a bussiness. I think my site is done very poorly and if I had the time I would update the site. I am so busy at work building applications that last thing I want to do is come home and update mine but thank very much for the correction. I had another guy tell me that it was the ugliest site hed ever seen, and I have to agree with him... a web designer I am not I much better at building data base driven applications and my spelling is horrific. In fact I did not even run the text on my site through a text editor. It is a good thing my web site does not feed my family...

Looking at what You corrected however does bring me to question if you think that type of pitch presents a novel idea or is it just a bunch of BS you be the judge....

I love to post to myself anyways enough about my terribly mispelled website. On a lighter note has anyone given much thought to building one inherited from the windows base tree list.. It would be great to build a class and drop the class in as a .dll and be able to truly tweak the control to you specific tasks. I have recently been assigned the task of purchasing a Document Management Program and was surpised to learn the astronomical pricing involve with such applications. I was thinking about building my own but I would definately want to use a .net treelist as a class that I can call from C# not one I have to tweak in html....

Ah well, it would have been a fun project. Glad to hear it's in the next version of .NET, though. It is sorely needed. I really do need to find the time to look int owhat will be available in the next version.

ASP.net 2.0 will have treeview built in

I have to say I was surprised and horribly disappointed that there was no web TreeView in .NET. I haven't really had the time to look over Whideby yet and I wonder if there is one coming up. It seems like something the community really wants, and it's not that difficult to do.

I did create a small but very specialized one for my site and it didn't really take a lot to do it. Inheriting from the windows forms verison might be tricky, but could be worth looking into. Maybe it would be worth it to get some of the people here doing it as a group project. We could start with one of the ones over at www.asp.net and go from there.

As for your other post, I do think there is a niche for creating data-driven websites for small organizations, clubs, etc. so I do think it's a great idea, however it does have pitfalls.

I have been very pleased with the power and flexibility of the Web Tree control from powerupasp.net. The also have an edit control which I have not tried.
