VB.NET Hierarchical TreeView Project Functionalities

[MainForm] 

  • Is linked to MS Access Database 2007 [hierarchical.accdb] programatically. [MainForm] form performs Save, Search, Edit, Delete, Display to TreeView Control all Data From/Into Database Tables programmatically.

[Form_Load]

  • Validate OleDBConnection with Microsoft Access 2007 Database.
  • Populate ComboBox with Data from Microsoft Access 2007 Database table [us_cities] contains 29.8k records which are all United States Cities and all the States are from table [us_states] From [BackGroundWorker_RunWorkerCompleted] event.
  • Populate TreeView Control with all Data from Microsoft Access 2007 Database table [BasicInfo] including Image, From [BackGroundWorker_RunWorkerCompleted] event.
  • Triggers [BackgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync()] and [BackgroundWorker_DoWork] that executes all the ComboBox and TreeView Controls populations and displays both contents on MainForm after finishing their job.

[TreeView Mouse_DoubleClick]


  • Displays all Database table contents that is stored in the TreeView Control nodes on the Form's controls.

[BackGroundWorker]

  • Displays the Form and all controls while waiting for ComboBox control to load 29.8k records from Access 2007 table [us_cities] and also the TreeView Control to load all Data stored in the Access 2007 table [BasicInfo].

The MS Access 2007 Database [hierarchical.accdb] 

  • has all United States States in table [us_states], each United State's [STATE_NAME] in table [us_states] is linked to its Cities in table [us_cities]. Table [BasicInfo] is linked to table [us_cities], so each User in table [BasicInfo] is linked to [us_cities] on field [ID] as shown above.

MenuStrip [File]

  • [New] : Clears all TextBoxes and resets the TreeView Control ForeColor and BackColor.
  • [Save] : Performs Sql Statement [Insert Into] using [OleDBTransaction] after validating all controls.
