I am trying to use the treeview navigation skeleton project.  
I have a structure that looks something like

T1  
T1a  
T1b  
T1c  
T2  
T2a  
T2b  
T3  
T3a  
T3b  
T3c  
T3d

I would like T1 (and all its sub-nodes) and/or T2 (and all its…) and/or T3 (and…) to appear based on user logins. How can I achieve that?  
thx

For my Treeviews, I bind SQL queries, with the security built in them, which produces the desired nodes for each user.

We do the same thing. Our trees are completely SQL driven.

Hi I want to do something similar. Do you have some example of how can this be done?

Thanks
