Hi! First you have to get a reference to the node you want to select and then you just have to call myTreeView.SelectedNode = theNodeReference;

thanks for ur reply but then if u pass the node reference of a child node it is not accepting.... can u help me more plzzzzz

What do you mean by "it is not accepting"? Either you have a reference to an existing node anywhere inside your tree, in which case the mechanism is working, or you don't have a reference to an existing node, in which case I'd expect the treeview to not select anything. But without any code from your side it's impossible to tell what you did wrong.

Try something like this: foreach (TreeNode node in myTree.Nodes) { if (node.Text == "12") { myTree.SelectedNode=node; break; } }
