  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:

Assembly:
System.Web.dll

Expands the current node and all its child nodes.

public:
 void ExpandAll();
public void ExpandAll ();
member this.ExpandAll : unit -> unit
Public Sub ExpandAll ()

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ExpandAll method to programmatically expand a node and all its child nodes in the TreeView control. For this example to work correctly, you must copy the sample XML data below to a file named Book.xml.

The following code is sample XML data for the previous example.

<Book Title="Book Title">  
    <Chapter Heading="Chapter 1">  
        <Section Heading="Section 1">  
        </Section>  
        <Section Heading="Section 2">  
        </Section>  
    </Chapter>  
    <Chapter Heading="Chapter 2">  
        <Section Heading="Section 1">  
        </Section>  
    </Chapter>  
</Book>

Remarks

Use the ExpandAll method to conveniently expand the current node and all its child nodes.

Note

As an alternative, you can also set the Expanded property of the current node and each of its child nodes to true.

To expand only the current node, consider using the Expand method.

ExpandAll will expand all the nodes in the entire tree.
