Hello  
  
I have a written a class that inherits from the TreeNode class  
  
I want to use the inherited TreeNode class to attach custom properties to  
  
the nodes in a TreeView web control  
  
I am trying to use the TreeNodePopulate event to read the custom property  
  
when the user expands a node  
  
The problem is that the custom node is not recognised when the event fires  
  
after the page has been rendered  
  
How can I access the custom node during postbacks, I get the feeling that  
  
the custom node isn't being created, even though I've overridden the  
  
CreateNode method, is there something else I should do? Do I need to  
  
override other methods that persist the custom properties of the custom  
  
treenode? Am I doing this the wrong way? Should I take an entirely different  
  
approach?  
  
Here is some of the code  
  
public class CustomTreeView : TreeView  
  
{  
  
protected override TreeNode CreateNode()  
  
{  
  
return new CustomTreeNode();  
  
}  
  
}  
  
public class CustomTreeNode : TreeNode  
  
{  
  
private int customInt;  
  
public int CustomInt  
  
{  
  
get  
  
{  
  
return customInt;  
  
}  
  
set  
  
{  
  
customInt= value;  
  
}  
  
}  
  
}  
  
protected void customTreeView_TreeNodePopulate(object sender,  
  
TreeNodeEventArgs e)  
  
{  
  
CustomTreeNode node = e.Node as CustomTreeNode;  
  
// node == null  
  
// i need to access node.CustomInt  
  
...  
  
}  
  
Thanks
