Remarks

Use the HorizontalPadding property to control the amount of horizontal space around the text of the node to which the TreeNodeStyle is applied. This space is inserted between the left edge of the text and the border of the text area, as well as between the right edge of the text and the border for the text. To control the vertical spacing, use the VerticalPadding property.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
