0) Use a thread for the "loading" stuff that happens1) In the "clicked" event handler for the list control, see if the loading thread is still running. If it is, don't do anything.2) Or, while the thread is running, disable the list control (I'd probably do it this way).

You probably need to cast the sender to the appropriate type instead.EDIT ==================You still have to cast the sender to get the selected node:Treeview tree = sender as TreeView;Node node = tree.SelectedNode as Node;

This happens because your treenodes have duplicate values, change the line parentTreeNode.Value = firstDataRows["ParentId"].ToString();to parentTreeNode.Value = firstDataRows["Id"].ToString();So that they will have unique values

No Way! You cant typecast a reference to a TreeNode object to a Node object. You can only typecast a TreeNode reference that refers to a Node object. For Example:TreeNode tn = new Node();Node n = (Node) tn;So make sure that tn refers to a Node object.Regards.
