Good Tree Control?

by John Dyer

Does anyone have a good suggestion for an inexpensive TreeView control. I don't need a lot of fancy features like drag and drop, just a heirarchical tree that supports links, images, checkboxes, and XML loading. I looked around and I could only find very poor implimentations or products that had more many bells and whistles than I need and were over $200 US.

So I whipped one up last week with those basic features, but then I wanted to stop and make sure there wasn't a comparable one in the $50 range.

FTB 3.0 release candidate

by John Dyer

Last night I put up a FreeTextBox 3.0 preview release. Here's the explanation from the front page:

FreeTextBox 3.0 is a free ASP.NET server control written in C# for use in ASP.NET applications.  You can use FreeTextBox in any product with no obligation for payment. FreeTextBox version 3.0 has  many new free features (such as an integrated image gallery) as well as some features  (such as form, table and style editing) that can be unlocked via a license file. A "Pro" license may be purchased by a development team and used in all their projects, but may not be re-distributed in secondary applications. An application distribution license may be purchased to distribute  the "Pro" version of FreeTextBox. The source code to FreeTextBox 3.0 will also be for sale and there will be an upgrade path for those who purchased the 2.0 source code.  Full details will be posted when FreeTextBox 3.0 is officially released.
