TreeView without PostBack?

 Is this possible?

Could you use checkboxes to allow the user to select the
node(s)? I
guess this might not work if you want to limit the user to
selecting
one node.

In general I've found the treeview control to be quite
disappointing.
For example, it includes check box support, but no way to
have
checking of a parent automatically check the child nodes.
And there's
no support for client-side scripting, so if functionality
like that
isn't provided out of the box, you can't easily add it.

We were rather disappointed with the new control as well. 
We'd been using the
IE TreeView control (in Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls) and
were looking forward
to the one in ASP.NET 2.0.  Its lack of client-side
scripting support was a real
downer; the flexibility of its data binding features was
really attractive, but
we just couldn't live without better scripting support.

So instead (since the IE control comes with source code), we
juiced up the old
control by adding (exposing, really) support for passing in
an XsltArgumentList,
support for specifying a resource key instead of text, and I
resolved myself to
improving my XSL Transform skills.  The IE control is still
a bit shaky, but
I'll take a bird in the hand any day, 'specially if the
bird comes with source
core.
