I am using the Treeview control from MS's Internet Explorer Web Controls (http://msdn.microsoft.com
Is it possible to reference a particular node by its name (id)?
For example, I am populating the treeview control programmatically from a sql query. I would like to be able to do something like:
myNode = TreeView1.Nodes("MyParentN
myNode.Nodes.Add(myChildNo
However, it looks like you can only reference a node by its index.
Thanks for your help.

I figured I would have to use some sort of a hash table, although I was hoping for a more elegant solution.
Also, I guess I wasn't clear in my first post, but since this is asp.net, I am using the treeview from Microsoft.Web.UI.WebContro

There doesn't appear to be something like that specifically in the .NET TreeView. Is there a particular case when you need that? If you're using it in response to an event the tree fires, the event probably gets a TreeViewEventArgs parameter. As part of the TreeViewEventArgs class, you get the node that is being affected by the event, so that may address the cases when you need to find the tree entry.
However, you can simulate your request by using a HashTable to cache a pointer to the node in the TreeView. When you add a new node to the tree, also add it to a mapping HashTable. Then, you can retrieve a tree node quickly.
private System.Windows.Forms.TreeV
private Hashtable keyList = new Hashtable();
// create a new tree item.
TreeNode node = new TreeNode("ItemXX");
keyList.Add("ItemXX", node);
Then, you can access the nodes in the tree by the hash key. In this case, I used the name, but you can use whatever you'd like.
TreeNode myNode = keyList["ItemXX"];
