WinForms TreeView

Question

I am looking for a WinForms treeview control with following requirements:

Should be not so hard to write code for it (most tree/list combinations are way too complicated)
Should have some sort of easy drag and drop capabilities (including a vista-explorer style drop marker)
Should be free or at least affordable
Should provide some freedom of text/color/style/etc. of the treenodes (classic "outlook bold with blue numbers style)

Any ideas? thx

Another interesting alternative is TreeViewAdv, as suggested in another thread.

I think the standard WinForms' treeview control will do everything on your list. I don't know what the second item refers to as I've not used Vista. It's declared as System.Windows.Forms.TreeView and is available in VS200*'s form designer. I can't think of any simpler way of doing tree views.

I'm not really happy with the standard winforms control - that's why I asked the question in the first place. Implementing drag&drop with a nice drop marker is really painful in the standard control. – Stefan Koell Feb 11 '09 at 15:25

I'm a big fan of SandGrid by Divelements. I use it for all my ListViews and TreeViews. It even supports both at the same time (a TreeView with columns). I find it easy to use and very fast.
