Treeview breaks when you use physical path for link

[stevet26]

Hi

I have a treeview control which gets it values from a database. Up until now it has worked fine as all the links in the tree have been going to virtual paths like: default.aspx?ID=1.

My client has now asked that we include a press realeases section to the tree which links to external pages:

http://www.newspaper.co.uk/travel/Article.asp?id=1

and the tree view then breaks saying

'

http://www.newspaper.co.uk/travel/Article.asp?id=1is

not a valid virtual path.'
the line it breaks on is AddNode(node, GetParentNodeFromDataReader(reader));

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

I am working with visual web developer 2005 and working with asp.net 2.

Thanking you in advance

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Yes, because the method you have called only accepts a virtual path which isn't what you have supplied.

Great. So is there a method I could call to make it work?

Yes, TreeNodes have a NavigateURL property so when you add your Node, use of one the overloaded functions e.g.

TreeView1.Nodes.Add(New TreeNode("Example Text", "Example Value", "c:\image.jpg", "[URL unfurl="true"]http://aspnetlibrary.com",[/URL] ""))
