Remarks
Use the ChildNodesPadding property to control the amount of space above and below the child nodes section of the node to which the TreeNodeStyle class is applied. This spacing is inserted between the parent node and its first child node, as well as between its last child node and the next node.
Note
The space after the last child node is not rendered if there are no additional nodes following the last child node, because this would leave an unnecessary gap at the bottom of the control.
To control the amount of space between child nodes, use the NodeSpacing property.
The value of this property is stored in view state.
