small app debug, c#, vs2012

I am following the link below to create file/folder tree-view similar to file explore:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171645%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

What I have built is not working. I wonder if you could possibly take a look at this 60KB file at: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=420CDD6A13807C9B&id=420CDD6A13807C9B%21116 to see how I may be able to fix this:

Sorry about for not stating the problem correctly. It doesn't have error. I just doesn't populate the controls (TreeView or ListView).

HainKurt

without writing any line of code, how come can you expect it to run like an explorer?

anyways, just copy paste the code ^^^ replacing your whole code...

I have totally messed up this application. I replaced old Form1 with another Form2 (then renamed it to Form1) in the process most of my code was deleted. I will go for a run now. After that break, I will shape it up so we can continue with it.

Hi Hain,

I am sure what you are saying would work. But unfortunately I have deleted the entire project and started all over again which in a sense is good practice for me.

Good news is that it is working now.

Thanks,

Mike
