            TreeNode node = new TreeNode((string)dir.Attribute("name"));
            treeView1.Nodes.Add(node);
            GetTree(dir, node);
            treeView1.ExpandAll();
        }
        public static void GetTree(XElement dir, TreeNode node)
        {
            foreach (XElement child in dir.Elements("dir"))
            {
                TreeNode childNode = new TreeNode((string)child.Attribute("name"));
                node.Nodes.Add(childNode);
                GetTree(child, childNode);
            }
        }
