Remarks

Use the ShowLines property to specify whether the lines that are connecting child nodes to parent nodes are displayed. When this property is set to true, the TreeView control searches the Web-accessible folder that is specified by the LineImagesFolder property for the line images.

Note

If the LineImagesFolder property is not set, the TreeView control will use the built-in, default images (20 x 20 pixels).

The value of this property is stored in view state.
