When ShowRootLines is false, the Plus/Minus sign will not be shown for the root node, but will still show when necessary on child nodes.
With the Plus/Minus sign hidden, you might consider executing the Expand() method of the root node once the tree is populated. That will make sure that the root node shows all first-level child nodes.
Note: There is a ShowPlusMinus property on the TreeView, but it works on all nodes.
