Newbie Question

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this question.
I am using VB.Net 2005 (expess) and am relatively new to Visual basic
and SQL 2005 (express)

Anyway, I was going through a tutorial set (creating an RSS Reader),
and after completing basic code / form creation, it made me wonder if there was
a way to have the treeview facilitate the Channel/Folder/Item fields that I created in the Database. If there is, how would I go about accomplishing this (or at least help with directing me where to get the instruction from).

Thanks in Advance,

John Petty

Thank you very much. I think I can adapt that to the logic.

I assume the structure you are going for is something like this

Channel
|-Folder
| |-Item
| |-Item
|-Folder
| |-Item
Channel
...

and each of your records has an Item, Folder, and Channel field. So what you can do is this (in not quite code).

for each record
channelNode = nothing
for each node in treeview.nodes
    if node.name = record.Channel then
      channelNode = node
      exit for
    end if
next
if channelNode is nothing then
    channelNode = new TreeNode(record.Channel)
    treeview.nodes.add(channelNode)
end if

folderNode = nothing
for each node in channelnode.nodes
    if node.name = record.field then
      folderNode = node
      exit for
    end if
next
if foldernode is nothing then
    foldernode = new treenode(record.field)
    channelnode.nodes.add(foldernode)
end if

foldernode.nodes.add(new TreeNode(record.item))
next 'record
