Thanks. Agreed but what happens to the intermediate nodes.

For eg. the tree in the current state on a given branch is expanded to 2 levels (third level is populated with Dummy nodes) and now the navigation leads the user to a node 6 levels deep in the same branch line of the tree. I use the below command and get to populate the tree for as per the eg. of level 6 (child) of lcParentKey (parent level 5 undefined as the expansion is only upto level 2 in the same branch line)

>Doesn't matter you provide parentkey and use 4 (child) as releavance parameter.
>(TV.Nodes.Add(lcParentKey,4,lcNewKey,lcText))
