Create folder tree, Windows Forms

Question

I'm new to C# and Windows Forms and want to create a simple UI like this.

I have the following arrays:

string [] projects;
string [] subjects;  
string [] experiments;
string [] scans;
string [] files; 

Edit: Each child element has info indicating to which parent it belongs (which may make this more suitable for an arrangement of Subject [] subjects, Experiment [] experiments, etc.)

And the Windows Forms component must work this way

projects  (<- when clicked should show the string array of projects)
|
|--- subjects (<- when clicked should show the string array of subjects)
        |
        |---experiments (<- when clicked should show the string array of experiments)
               |
               |--- scans (<- when clicked should show the string array of scans)
                      |
                      |----files (<- when clicked should show the string array of files)

I think the TreeView component fits the bill, but as I'm new to Windows Forms (and what to get this thing done fast), I thought I'd better check in SO first.

Is TreeView the appropriate way to implement this UI?

Answer 1

Yes. The Treeview is the best component for your need.

You can also use this component with a XML file.
