I'm sure I saw this somewhere as I was reading.  For now, all I can find 
is MS KB article Q308063.  I will keep my eye out for more/better 
examples.

> R,

Do you have any samples for binding a dataset to a tree control?  I
didn't know this was possible.  My data is stored in XML, if I could
bind to that, I'd be laughing.

(suitable design pattern)?

I would investigate trying to hydrate a DataSet out of your data.  You 
might be able write semi-generic code to do this.  Add each level as a 
table and then add the parent-child (collection) levels as Relations.  
Then you have your auto-sync handled.

R 

I have an object hierarchy similar to:

Store
  |--	Products
  |--	Customers
  |--	Suppliers

The Store is a singleton object and the products, customers and
suppliers are all collection classes. Does anyone know of, or can
suggest a method to bind this object hierarchy to a tree?  Ideally, each
collection would become a folder, and each item in the collection would
be an individual node.  Being able to populate the tree (from the parent
object 'store') to n levels deep dynamically would also be a bonus.

Failing being able to directly bind the tree and the object hierarchy,
can anyone suggest a design pattern that could be used to synchronize an
object hierarchy to the tree so that all updates to the objects would be
immediately reflected on the tree?

Cheers,
