Inheriting from the TreeNode class

Hello

I have a written a class that inherits from the TreeNode class

I want to use the inherited TreeNode class to attach custom properties to
the nodes in a TreeView web control

I am trying to use the TreeNodePopulate event to read the custom property
when the user expands a node

The problem is that the custom node is not recognised when the event fires
after the page has been rendered

How can I access the custom node during postbacks, I get the feeling that
the custom node isn't being created, even though I've overridden the
CreateNode method, is there something else I should do? Do I need to
override other methods that persist the custom properties of the custom
treenode? Am I doing this the wrong way? Should I take an entirely different
approach?

Here is some of the code

public class CustomTreeView : TreeView
{
protected override TreeNode CreateNode()
{
return new CustomTreeNode();
}
}

public class CustomTreeNode : TreeNode
{
private int customInt;

public int CustomInt
{
get
{
return customInt;
}
set
{
customInt= value;
}
}

}


protected void customTreeView_TreeNodePopulate(object sender,
TreeNodeEventArgs e)
{
CustomTreeNode node = e.Node as CustomTreeNode;
// node == null
// i need to access node.CustomInt
...
}

Thanks

Alex
