TreeView control should support postbacks on check/uncheck of the node's Checkbox by Sentha

Thanks for your feedback on the .NET Framework! S. Somasegar, the Developer Division VP recently wrote in his blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2006/05/18/601354.aspx) about how the next release of the .NET Framework (codename “Orcas”) requires a high degree of backward compatibility and therefore, how we are being very strict about the number and scope of changes that are made in the “Red Bits” during Orcas. Unfortunately, the change suggested requires a change in the red bits category, and so we are not able to implement it in Orcas due to the potential for it to introduce compatibility issues.

We recognize you submitted this issue because of a specific problem you are experiencing with the product, and while we can’t provide a fix for the issue in Orcas, you may find additional useful information by searching or posting to the ASP.NET forums (http://forums.asp.net). Finally, if you submitted this bug because of a blocking problem you’re experiencing and continue to experience, you may want to also open a support call with Microsoft Professional Services (http://support.microsoft.com/?LN=en-us&scid=gp%3Ben-us%3Bofferprophone&x=8&y=14), which is a better support option when you’re experiencing business impact for your problem and are unable to resolve it in a timely manner on forums or other support channels.

Before starting work on the next full release of the .NET Framework, we will review the customer feedback to help us identify and address the top customer requests.

Thanks,

This issue has been reactivated as we begin planning for the next version of Visual Studio and the .NET Framework. Over the coming months we will reconsider feedback that was previously postponed. We welcome your comments and participation in this process. See http://blogs.msdn.com/productfeedback/archive/2005/10/21/483563.aspx for more information.

Thanks for this suggestion. We will definitely consider making this easier in the next release. However, for now, you can employ the following workaround in your own code: http://www.asp.net/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?tabindex=1&PostID=644743

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your feedback. We are investigating this suggestion.

The problem is made worse by the fact that TreeNode cannot be subclassed. So, that rules out our creating a class that will enable our users to have postbacks when nodes are checked/unchecked.
