I'm developing a web based email client, and I need the users folder tree
(as in Outlook) to be pretty easily customisable. The folders will come from
a database, and of course, if the user changes the order or the folders, it
would need to save this to my database.

Is the ASP.NET treeview control the right tool for the job here, or will I
be better off using a different JavaScript treeview control that I can build
dynamically?

Could someone please tell me why I should/shouldn't use the .NET Treeview
control and the advantages thereof...

Thanks
Greg

At my point of view, one of the key advantages of the TreeControl is that
it perfectly fits into the ASP.NET event and server controls model .
I used javascript trees in a lot of projects and I can say that
I'm not content.
First of all, I do not like client scripts at all :-) I think that you can
avoid using them as possible.
Mixing client and server code is not a good idea, and since we have many
events
exposed by TreeView control, we can perform any complex tasks with much,
much less of the code
(also very significant advantage).
It is very convinient for usage...that the main reason
