Question

I have a tree view with checkboxes in c#, I want that when the user checks one node all the nodes that there are on the levels below automatic checked also.
Does anyone know about way to do that without run with recorsive fnction on all the tree each time that the user checks some node?

Thanks

//this function returns the treeView.

   public TreeView GetTreeView()
    {

        getSubject();
        // fill the treeview with all subjects.
        foreach (Subject subject in subjects)
        {
            //for each root subject fill all the his children.
            if (subject.subjestId == subject.parentSubject)
            {
                TreeNode node = new TreeNode(subject.subjectString, subject.subjestId, subject.subjestId);
                addChild(node, subject.subjestId);
                tv.Nodes.Add(node);
            }
        }
        return tv;
    }
   // for each subject return sub subjects.
   private void addChild(TreeNode node, int parentId)
    {
        foreach (Subject subject in subjects)
        {
            if (subject.parentSubject == parentId && subject.parentSubject != subject.subjestId)
            {
                TreeNode childNode = new TreeNode(subject.subjectString, subject.subjestId, subject.subjestId);
                addChild(childNode, subject.subjestId);
                node.Nodes.Add(childNode);
            }
        }
    }

Recursion. Like this:

    bool busy = false;

    private void treeView1_AfterCheck(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e) {
        if (busy) return;
        busy = true;
        try {
            checkNodes(e.Node, e.Node.Checked);
        }
        finally {
            busy = false;
        }
    }

    private void checkNodes(TreeNode node, bool check) {
        foreach (TreeNode child in node.Nodes) {
            child.Checked = check;
            checkNodes(child, check);
        }
