Hi- I'm new to C#.NET ver 2; I have a TreeView control and whenever one of
the nodes of the TreeView is clicked, it should bring up a formatted text
output to its right (the fields on the text triggered by database table
values).  Can someone advise me as to what controls to use for text output?

Thankyou!!

The choices are limitless here - anywhere from a multiline text box to an
embedded word document. It just depends on how much functionality and flash
you want to pack in.

Thanks Alvin.

How would I embed a word doc (which should have fields coming from database)
into the code? Any examples (ASP.NET ver 2 web app C#) available?

A very simple solution is put Internet Explorer there - it can show Word docs
as well as bitmaps, pdf (if the acrobat reader is installed on your system),
and more.

You have to add it - I don't remember where/how to do so.
