Tree Manipulation - Control Recommendations?
 

I need to provide a view of hierarchical data to the users who need the
ability to subsequently do the following:
(1) add additional nodes (root and non root nodes);
(2) arrange the nodes (drag and drop existing nodes to rearrange the tree)
(3) specify a short bit of text that will be displayed with each node.

After the user does all that, I need to then save it all to a database for
subsequent retrieval and manipulation in later sessions.

I'd appreciate any recommendations for controls that would provide much of
the functionality described.

Thanks!

Re: Tree Manipulation - Control Recommendations?
 

I'm not sure if the IETreeView control could achieve what you're trying to
do, but it might be worth having a look.
Just go to www.asp.net control galleries and browse through the navigation
controls.

As an alternative though, you could easily create a custom control that
perhaps derived from the Xml WebControl
and use a predefined XSLT file/object. I have done something similar to this
in the past and it was not overly complicated.
