how to use hierarchy id in c# windows form application

Question

i create a simple table such as image below

and fill by item such as image below

load this table in tree view on c# form application by using microsoft.sqlserver.types.10.50.1600.1 nuget and work fin

my problem is i don't know how to convert tree view to hierarchyid in c#. i search on internet but all of description for hierarchyid in sql-server. i use tree view path but that return string for example: node car repairman return:Manager/NT/NT& Transportation Expert/Car repairman but i want return /1/1/2/ to store in my table and second problem that how to traversal all brunch node to update table when insert or delete. my code to load data to treeview is:

namespace TVHierachyID
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        DataTable dataTable4;
        private BindingSource oBS = new BindingSource();
        private void btnGetData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            SqlConnection cs4 = new SqlConnection("Data Source=1.1.1.1;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=test;User ID=test;Password=test");
            SqlDataAdapter adapter4 = new SqlDataAdapter("select unit_name,lvl,lvl.ToString()as lvls,lvl.GetLevel()as lvln from test_tbl", cs4);
             dataTable4 = new DataTable();
            adapter4.Fill(dataTable4);            
            oBS.DataSource = dataTable4;
            dgData.DataSource = oBS;
            lblCount.Text = string.Format("{0} records loaded", oBS.Count);
        }
        private void doTV_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string sKeyField = "lvl", sTextField = "lvls";

Answer 1

solved by this Maybe others will use it:X

private void buttonsave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        TreeNode oMainNode = tvData.Nodes[0];
        PrintNodesRecursive(oMainNode);
        fsave = true;
    }

 public void PrintNodesRecursive(TreeNode oParentNode)
    {
        // Start recursion on all subnodes.
        foreach (TreeNode oSubNode in oParentNode.Nodes)
        {
            TreeNode node = oSubNode;
            while (node != null)
            {
                path2.Push(node.Index.ToString());
                node = node.Parent;
            }
            string nodePath = string.Join("/", path2.ToArray()) + "/";
            nodePath = nodePath.Remove(0, 1);
            MessageBox.Show(nodePath, oSubNode.Text);
            path2.Clear();
            PrintNodesRecursive(oSubNode);
        }
    }

Answer 2

This might be a slightly cleaner way:

public IEnumerable<TreeNode> GetTreeNodeParentPath(TreeNode oParentNode)
{
    if (oParentNode != null)
    {
        yield return oParentNode;
        foreach (var node in GetTreeNodeParentPath(oParentNode.Parent))
            yield return node;
    }
}

public void PrintNodesRecursive(TreeNode oParentNode)
{
    foreach (TreeNode oSubNode in oParentNode.Nodes)
    {
        var message = String.Concat(GetTreeNodeParentPath(oSubNode).Select(x => $"{x.Index}/"));
        MessageBox.Show((message), oSubNode.Text);
        PrintNodesRecursive(oSubNode);
    }
}
