TreeViewのNodeコレクションの状態をSQLiteに保存する

まず、保存するためのテーブルを設計します。
【SQLite】

CREATE TABLE "TREEVIEW" (
	"ROWNAME"	TEXT,
	"hasChild"	INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
	"parentName"	TEXT NOT NULL,
	"index"	INTEGER NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY("ROWNAME")
);

• ROWNAME TreeNodeの名前を保存する
• hasChild そのNodeがNodesを持っていれば1
• parentName 親ノードの名前を保存する
• index　Nodeを全て展開したときの見える順番にseq番号を振る

【C#】

using System.Windows.Forms;

    public partial class Form1 : Form

            //TreeView1へのドラッグを受け入れる
            treeView1.AllowDrop = true;
            //イベントハンドラを追加する
            treeView1.ItemDrag +=
                new ItemDragEventHandler(TreeView1_ItemDrag);
            treeView1.DragOver +=

より、ドラッグ＆ドロップでNodeを移動できるようにしておくと便利です。（上記コード内にはメソッド名のみ記載しています。）
