You were only returning a value at the bottom of the try block.

So how do I actually fix this so I can access the value outside of btnAdd_Click?

he easiest way to do this may well be to create a tree control that is never shown on a form, and populate it.

(no offense to you, Christian).

If you don't need a control, don't use one, it's really expensive.

I would not regard the overhead to be that much, certainly compared to the overhead of writing a tree structure, assuming one can't be found to use. But, like I said, I'm not claiming to always be right
