     It's important to remember that the columns in a list store don't 
have to be referenced in the tree view. In Gtk# there is a greater 
amount of separation between the data and the display than in MS grids.
     Here is my favorite beginner tutorial 
http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp_TreeView_Tutorial

     Specifically I use the methods here 
http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp_TreeView_Tutorial#Controlling_how_the_model_is_used

     At first it seems kind of ackward using class objects to populate 
the liststore/treestore but over time is become very helpful.
