I'm trying to create a tree with the following very small access database.
I'm still getting a few errors,
'rdr' is a 'variable' but used like a 'method'
and trying to get tree to actually populate..
If you find any other errors or recommendations, they're greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

DatabaseName is PartsTree
TableName is Parts

ID parent_ID description
1------null------Car
2------1------Wheels
3------2------Rims
4------2------Hubcabs
5------2------Lugnuts
6------1------Engine
7------6------Pistons

Take a look at,

SqlDataAdapter adp = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from tableName", @"connection_str");
 DataTable dt = new DataTable();
 adp.Fill(dt);


 foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
  {
  string key = row["pid"].ToString();
  TreeNode[] tn = treeView1.Nodes.Find(key, true);
  if (tn.Length ==0)
  {
    treeView1.Nodes.Add(row["id"].ToString(), row["desc"].ToString());
   }
  else
  {
    tn[0].Nodes.Add(row["id"].ToString(), row["desc"].ToString());
   }
}
