Remove all child nodes from specific parent node in TreeView
treeview control is made up of nodes. nodes are four types those as root node, parent node, child node and
leaf node. parent node always contains other nodes. we can manage parent nodes child nodes using treeview built in
methods and properties. the following example code demonstrate us how can we remove all child nodes from specific parent node.
in this process first we need to find the specific parent node using FindNode method. then we call it's child nodes. when we get specific parent node's child nodes, then we apply Clear method to it. ChildNodes.Clear method remove (delete) all child nodes from specific parent node. following example code will help you to better understand the entire process.
