The server side treeview control is 100% managed code and lives in the
System.Web.UI which is installed as part of the basic .NET framework.
Therefore, it should be available assuming the framework has been properly
installed.

Shouldn't need it and FWIW I agree with the admin's decision.

If you're referring to third party components or controls, they would most
likely be distributed with a strong name, be installed into any directory on
the box (i.e. Program Files\Company Name) and then be registered in the
GAC[1]. If you're paying for these controls then I'd hope the company is
providing a setup program (i.e. MSI package) which should do all this for
you.

Sure, this[1] should get you started.
