    {

      // Expand the node using the Expand method.
      e.Node.Expand();

    }

The following code is sample XML data for the previous example.

<Book Title="Book Title">  
    <Chapter Heading="Chapter 1">  
        <Section Heading="Section 1">  
        </Section>  
        <Section Heading="Section 2">  
        </Section>  
    </Chapter>  
    <Chapter Heading="Chapter 2">  
        <Section Heading="Section 1">  
        </Section>  
    </Chapter>  
</Book>

Remarks

Use the Expand method to conveniently expand the current node.

Note

As an alternative, you can also set the Expanded property to true.

To expand the current node and all its child nodes, consider using the ExpandAll method.

ExpandAll will expand all the nodes in the entire tree.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
