The code bellow is only PART of what is needed to do what you want (this code is from when I was learning and was in fact my first web application in c#) it is intended for you to learn from and I would do things differently now. Good luck. //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- public void expandNodes(TreeView tv _sessions _session) { TreeNode node; tv.Nodes[ 0 ].Selected = true; //root node node = tv.SelectedNode; if (_session.valuePath != ) { node = tv.FindNode ( _session.valuePath ); switch(node.Depth) { case 0: break; case 1: node.Parent.Expand ( ); break; case 2: node.Parent.Parent.Expand ( ); node.Parent.Expand ( ); break; case 3: node.Parent.Parent.Parent.Expand ( ); node.Parent.Parent.Expand ( ); node.Parent.Expand ( ); break; case 4: node.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Expand ( ); node.Parent.Parent.Parent.Expand ( );

hi hiren  i am not seeing ur code and Treeview1.ExpandAll(); is not working. It expands all the tree nodes.My problem is: I have used treeview control in master page.MY tree view control contains 4 Parent nodes suppose A B C D and childs nodes a b c d . child nodes have been navigated to its respective pages. When i click on a child node  the whole page gets refreshed and child nodes also collapses. the page is suppose to open in a content page only.The treeview control is populated dynamically. what should i do for it. Hi theLizard could u plz explain it in detail .my problem is as written above.

theLizard · Answer

You need to look at Sessions and manage tree states using them.

try this Treeview1.ExpandAll(); to expand all treeview. You can write this in page load event. if you need more help then tell me...?
