Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get the TreeView control in ASP.Net
2.0 to allow node selection without triggering a postback?
Thanks!

You could consider using AJAX (or ATLAS in MS-speak) http://atlas.asp.net

I'm pretty sure that's what they use on this forum!

On the treeview:
PopulateNodesFromClient = true
EnableClientScript = true
On each node you add to the treeview:
PopulateOnDemand = true
Make sure to only do this on nodes that have children (save your bandwidth).
The only other thing you have to do is add an event handler to the
TreeView's TreeNodePopulate event. The event args include the node that
needs its children populated. Just stick new child nodes in it and that's
that! Its nice, but there are some bugs that need to get worked out of it...

Okay... nice answer, but not to the question I asked, but nice answer

Tsk... anyway of doing it *without* using AJAX? And if I did use AJAX, I
would still need to trap the clientside event without causing a postback
which is the whole point of this post in the first place.

You may want to look at the treeviews from obout.com (free) or
componentart. One nice thing with each of these is that they
dynamically fill branches without either a visible postback or ajax, by
calling a separate aspx page to fill the branch. Very intriguing when
you see it.
On the other hand, these treeviews have their own idosyncrasies, and
you may end up using one for a while and then finding a limitation
that's a show stopper.
I think what he's asking is how to remove the call to:
javascript:__doPostBack
from the TreeView node expand or collapse image.
I'm having the same problem. Is there any way to get rid of that
javascript function call?
Here's an example of what is added when I view the source:
alt="Collapse FY2008" style="border-width:0;" />
Well, I have the same question. I use the TreeView for a handy container for
related information. I just want it to expand/contract clientside. But I DO
NOT want it to "javascript:__doPostBack" on node select. There's no
AutoPostBack = false as far as I can see or way to override this click event.
So, how iz it done?

Nevermind, I figured it out. When you assign the Text of the node, just wrap
the text in a and intercept the click so it doesn't bubble to the
which is where the postback is picked up.
Ex:
node.Text = ""+NodeLabel+"";
