Why don't we fix the original TreeView to include the capabilities in TreeViewExtended? And Snympi makes a good point. Selecting nodes, expanding nodes, and getting containers from items is way too hard. These are every-day tasks that need to be dead simple in the TreeView API.

I have a TreeView whose ItemsSource is set to {Binding}, getting it from the UserControl's DataContext, and even the TreeViewExtended method for finding a container based on the data item... doesn't work!

Maybe the community should submit and vote on the unit tests that represent the most common scenarios for a control.

The ONLY TreeView that does EVERYTHING I need.

With all respect to Justin and the fantastic work he has done with the Extended TreeView, both the SL & WPF teams need to rethink the TreeView control and the way it is structured. The open-ended design is great as an example of design but from a user->developer point of view as simple task like selecting an element in the treeview from code is a lot of work and wastes time.
Perhaps both universes (WPF & SL) needs a NEW TreeViewExtended control that is redesigned based on what everyone has learnt.

Great work, that gets me further along in what I want to use tree view for. What my organization really needs though, is the ability to do drag and drop. The leftMouseBtnDown event helps, but it'd be nice if we had an event that fired telling us where an item was dragged from, and where it was dropped relative to the tree structure. I'd release TreeViewExtended after this functionality was added due to several people asking for it.
