Editing a TreeView node doesn't change the TreeNode Key

I have a TreeView with user-editable nodes. I like to use the node caption as key to my tree node :

+ Root
|+ Node1
||- SubNode1
||- SubNode2
|+ Node2
||- SubNode3
||- SubNode4

So I can reach a node like this:

MyTreeView.Nodes["Root"].Nodes["Node2"].Nodes["SubNode3"]

The problem is that, as I allow the user to rename any node, I would need also to change the key of my node in its parent in the AfterLabelEdit handler... which seems (logically) not to be done automatically. Unfortunately, Nodes["blabla"] is readonly, Nodes.Add(string Key, TreeNode Node) doesn't exist, and I can't find a way to do this without throwing (sooner or later) a bad exception.

Any idea ?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
