How to select a node of treeview programmatically in c#?

treeViewMain.SelectedNode = treeViewMain.Nodes.Find(searchNode, true)[0];

where searchNode is the name of the node. I'm personally using a combo "Node + Panel" where Node name is Node + and the same tag is also set on panel of choice. With this command + scan of panels by tag i'm usually able to work a treeview+panel full menu set.

Apologies for my previously mixed up answer.

Here is how to do:

myTreeView.SelectedNode = myTreeNode;

(Update)

I have tested the code below and it works:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        treeView1.Nodes.Add("1", "1");
        treeView1.Nodes.Add("2", "2");
        treeView1.Nodes[0].Nodes.Add("1-1", "1-1");
        TreeNode treeNode = treeView1.Nodes[0].Nodes.Add("1-2", "1-3");
        treeView1.SelectedNode = treeNode;
        MessageBox.Show(treeNode.IsSelected.ToString());
    }


}
