Displaying a custom hierarchy.

I have a simple hirachey of Tasks similar to the snipet below:

public class Task
{
    public Guid TaskId { get; set; }
    public Guid ParentId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<Task> Subtasks = new List<Task>();
}

What would be be the best way to display this data? A TreeView would be look ideal but since im not using a DataSet is this control excluded? Or how could i modify my code to enable me to use a TreeView?

• You do not need to make the TreeView data bound.

  You can create TreeNode instances, and add them to the TreeView.Nodes collection yourself.

  This would allow you to create a TreeView programmatically from your data.

  From Reed Copsey

• Take a look at the TreeView.Nodes.Add method.

  Then use recursion to add the sub tasks. Something like this:

  public void AddTaskToTree(TreeNodeCollection nodes, Task aTask)
  {
      TreeNode taskNode = New TreeNode(aTask.Name);
      nodes.Add(taskNode);
      foreach (Task subTask in aTask.Subtasks)
      {
          AddTaskToTree(taskNode.Nodes, subTask);
      }
  }
