Is there any simple tutorial for beginners about treeview binding in WPF?
What should we write in ItemsSource, DataType, ItemTemplate attributes if there's one List of items?
IList<string> items = new List<string>();
items.Add("item1");
items.Add("item2");
items.Add("item3");
XAML code:
<TreeView Name="treeView1">
<TreeView.Resources> <!-- what does it mean? -->
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="???" ItemsSource="{Binding ???}"></HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>

To Fully understand how to use the wpf treeview with data binding, I went through the following tutorials in order -
1) A very simple example of treeview binding using recursion
http://testdrivendevelopment.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/databinding-wpf-treeview-using-recursion/
2) Claus Konrads simple example of data binding with the treeview. It's the most straightforward example I have come across and should get any newcomers to wpf up to speed.

3) Mike Hillbergs tutorial shows, in detail, the ins and outs of the treeview, how it compares to other wpf controls, and how to bind data.
