How to serialize TreeView in to xml and deserialize xml back to TreeView?

Question

After loading elements and attributes of the below xml file in to a treeview, th

Answer 1

Fixed the issue by making small changes in Xml2TreeNode() function

private void Xml2TreeNode(XElement xNode, TreeNode treeNode)
{
    if (xNode.HasElements) //if node has children
    {
        TreeNode tNode = null;
        int i = 0;
        foreach (XElement subNode in xNode.Elements())
        {
            if (subNode.Descendants().Count() > 0)
            {//handle non-leaf node
                TreeNode tn = treeNode.Nodes.Add(subNode.Name.ToString().Trim());
                tn.Nodes.Add(new TreeNode(subNode.FirstNode.ToString().Trim()));
                tn.Tag = treeNode.Nodes[i].Tag = subNode.Attributes().ToList(); //---->these values are retrived in SaveNodes function
                tNode = tn; //add child nodes
            }
            else
            {//handle leaf node
                TreeNode tn = treeNode.Nodes.Add(subNode.Name.ToString().Trim()); //show name of a leaf node element
                tn.Nodes.Add(new TreeNode(subNode.Value.ToString().Trim())); //show value of above element as a child of its name
                tn.Tag = treeNode.Nodes[i].Tag = subNode.Attributes().ToList(); //---->these values are retrived in SaveNodes function
                tNode = treeNode.Nodes[i++]; //add sibling node
            }

            Xml2TreeNode(subNode, tNode); //recursively add child nodes
        }
    }
}
