Great Free Tree View Control - squishyTREE

Today I was looking for a tree view control for sub navigation in an image gallery.

Situation:
Budget for controls: $0
Time to develop a custom control: 0
Time to test expensive third party controls: 0
Finding the perfect control in under 30 minutes: priceless.

I believe it is good to give credit when credit is due, especially since most people will only comment when they have something negative to say. 

I did a Google search for free tree view controls.  I eventually made it here: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=a096c052-520e-4fdd-9e64-9ff0875e59a6

This control, squishyTREE, was developed by Adam Sills.  This control meets my needs 100 percent!  Full source code with nine samples are provided.  squishyTREE is very easy to use.  It can be wired up to a DataSet, XML file, etc.  I had no problem hooking up my existing CssClass.  If you need a tree view control, check this one out FIRST.  It is far better than many tree view controls that I would be willing to pay for.

Great job Adam!
