TreeView files selecting

Question

When I try to select a node like tvFolders.SelectedNode = n; in the Form contructor after InitializeComponent(); the AfterSelect evenhandler does not get called but it will get called if the code is put in the form load method. Why is this?

It's because Form_Load is the last method in the form loading process to be called. First is the constructor and the Initialize method then only the Form_Load gets called. So if you look carefully inside the Initialize method tvw_AfterSelect wireing of the event takes place (+= new TreeViewEventHandler...) something similar. This has to be initialized before hand to invoke events. If you're going to put your tvFolders.SelectedNode = n;  in the InitializeComponent() put it right after the wiring of the event.
