[RESOLVED] Find Treeview node and parent by Tag

I have a treeview which I put a bunch of Category Numbers in as the Tag of the node. Now after having that category number, in another application I wish to search the Category to get the parent text as well as the current selected text. My code looks like this thus far.

Code:

---

        With TreeView1
            For Each node As TreeNode In .Nodes
                If node.Tag = TextBoxCategory.Text Then
                    .SelectedNode = node
                    tbLexicon.Text = .SelectedNode.Parent.Text & " > " & .SelectedNode.Text
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next
        End With

---

This code came from MSDN, but it never finds my Tag which I know is in it as the other application supplies the values that I am sending back from the same treeview, just copied over to the other app. I have search for hours on this, but the results that I have tried just don't work or have errors that don't correct. For example... A sample of my treeview looks like this...

Air Condition and Heating
.........A/C Compressor & Clutch
..................Tag = 33543
.........A/C Hoses & Fittings
..................Tag = 33544
.........A/C & Heater Controls
..................Tag = 33545

Any help much appreciated.

This is what I use....

vb.net Code:

Dim gotNode As Boolean = False
    Private Sub selectTreeNode(ByVal parentNode As TreeNode, ByVal nodeID As String)
        If Not gotNode Then
            For Each node As TreeNode In parentNode.Nodes
 
                If node.Tag IsNot Nothing AndAlso node.Tag.ToString = nodeID Then
                    node.TreeView.SelectedNode = node
                    gotNode = True
 
                    Exit Sub
 
                Else
 
                    Call selectTreeNode(node, nodeID)
 
                End If
            Next
        End If
 
    End Sub

and to use it....

vb.net Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
 
        gotNode = False
        For Each n As TreeNode In Me.TreeView1.Nodes
            If Not gotNode Then
                selectTreeNode(n, "This")
 
            End If
        Next
 
    End Sub

I would not be at all surprised to see someone post a LINQ solution as well.

Thank you. It took me a minute to see what it was doing, but that worked great. Replaced "This" with TextBoxCategory.Text and filled tbLexicon by testing if gotNode was true.
