How to run a VB command statement in a string (VB .Net 2003)

Topic

I am relearning Visual Basic and am doing an execise that requires me to add a child node to a TreeView object from the node currently selected. I have determined the selected node, and, by looping back through the node levels, have built up the required Add string. FYI, it is as follows:

“TreeView1.Nodes(0).Nodes(1).Nodes.Add(New TreeNode(“New Node Name”)”

Now that I have that command in a string variable, how to I execute it?

Thank you for your time,

John Littell

Thank you Hans for your reply. I could not get the Set nod = statement to work and VB would not accept the tvwChild constant, but I finally got the following to work:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Node As System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode
Node = TreeView1.SelectedNode
TextBox1.Text = InputBox(Prompt:=”Enter name for new child of ” & TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text)
Node.Nodes.Add(TextBox1.Text)
End Sub

Regards, John

I posted a reply assuming that your question was about VB6. When I saw that it was about .Net, I removed my reply (since it was not relevant) and moved the thread to the .Net forum.
