Assigning and retrieving id of nodes

[Zeus_developer]

Hi,

I'm trying to load a treeview from this xml string:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <Tree>
  <Node Text="TAREAS REPETITIVAS: botón reminder para quienes no entregan adjunto" ID="1311" Expanded="True" ImageUrl="~/Images/check.png" IsFather="True" />
  <Node Text="TAREAS REPETITIVAS: Diferenciar archivos x usuario (en carpetas?)" ID="1312" Expanded="True" ImageUrl="~/Images/check.png" IsFather="True" />
  <Node Text="MENSAJES PRIVADOS: convertirlo a cloud?" ID="1318" Expanded="True" ImageUrl="~/Images/check.png" IsFather="True" />
  </Tree>

as you can see, each node have Text and ID attributes
sometimes, the nodes will have childs (only nodes two levels: parent - child)

when a linkbutton be pressed, I want to iterate the nodes and retrieving the id of each node and the id of the node childs 

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this functionality... could you help me please?

anyone? please help

Hello Segundo,

You can store the ID as Value using the ValueField property of RadTreeNodeBinding. Here is an example:

aspx:

<asp:button runat="server" text="Button" onclick="Button1_Click" />
   <telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView2" runat="server" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1">
       <DataBindings>
           <telerik:RadTreeNodeBinding DataMember="Node" TextField="Text" ValueField="ID" ImageUrlField="ImageUrl"
               ExpandedField="Expanded" />
       </DataBindings>
   </telerik:RadTreeView>
   <asp:xmldatasource runat="server" id="XmlDataSource1" datafile="TreeView.xml" xpath="/Tree/Node" />

code-behind:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       foreach (RadTreeNode item in RadTreeView2.GetAllNodes())
       {
           Response.Write(item.Value + "-");
       }
   }

treeview.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Tree>
  <Node Text="Desktop" ID="1" Expanded="True" ToolTip="Desktop" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/desktop.png">
    <Node Text="Administrator" ID="2" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-personal.png" Expanded="True">
      <Node Text="AppData" ID="3" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder.png">
        <Node Text="Microsoft" ID="4" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder.png"/>
      </Node>
      <Node Text="Contacts" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-contacts.png" ID="5" />
      <Node Text="Downloads" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-open.png" ID="6"/>
      <Node Text="Documents" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-documents.png" Selected="True" ID="7" />
      <Node Text="Favorites" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-favorites.png" ID="8">
        <Node Text="Links" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder.png" ID="9"/>
      </Node>
      <Node Text="Music" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-music.png" ID="10" />
      <Node Text="Pictures" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-pictures.png" ID="11" />
      <Node Text="Saved Games" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-open.png"  ID="12"/>
      <Node Text="Searches" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/searches.png" ID="13">
        <Node Text="History" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder.png" ID="14"/>
      </Node>
      <Node Text="Videos" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder-videos.png" ID="15"/>
    </Node>
    <Node Text="Computer" ToolTip="My Computer" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/computer.png" Expanded="True" ID="16">
      <Node Text="WebServer (\\10.0.0.80) (W:)" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/network-drive.png" ID="17"/>
      <Node Text="Local Disk (C:)" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/system-drive.png" Expanded="True" ID="18">
        <Node Text="inetpub" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder.png" Expanded="True" ID="16">
          <Node Text="AdminScripts" ImageUrl="~/TreeView/Img/Vista/folder.png" ID="19"></Node>
        </Node>
      </Node>
    </Node>
  </Node>
</Tree>

Attached is a sample for reference.

Hi Peter,

thanks for your response, it works fine... but it doesn't work when the xml is loaded from a string...I need to load the xml dinamically, then I can't use the xmlDatasource.

This is my code:

<telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server"  EnableDragAndDrop="True"
    MultipleSelect="true" EnableDragAndDropBetweenNodes="False">
   <DataBindings>
       <telerik:RadTreeNodeBinding DataMember="Node" TextField="Text" ValueField="ID" ImageUrlField="ImageUrl"
           ExpandedField="Expanded" />
   </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadTreeView>

RadTreeView1.LoadXml(xmlAsString)
RadTreeView1.ExpandAllNodes()
RadTreeView1.MultipleSelect = False

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Tree>
<Node Text="TAREAS REPETITIVAS: botón reminder para quienes no entregan adjunto" ID="1311" Expanded="True" ImageUrl="~/Images/check.png" IsFather="True"></Node>
<Node Text="TAREAS REPETITIVAS: Diferenciar archivos x usuario (en carpetas?)" ID="1312" Expanded="True" ImageUrl="~/Images/check.png" IsFather="True"></Node>
<Node Text="MENSAJES PRIVADOS: convertirlo a cloud?" ID="1318" Expanded="True" ImageUrl="~/Images/check.png" IsFather="True"></Node>
</Tree>

Protected Sub lnkSaveChanges_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles lnkSaveChanges.Click

    For Each node As RadTreeNode In RadTreeView1.GetAllNodes()
        Dim ParentID As String = node.Value

        For Each nodeChild As RadTreeNode In node.GetAllNodes()
            Dim ChildID As String = nodeChild.Value

        Next

    Next

End Sub

please give it a try and tell me why the radtreeNode isn't getting the ID attribute.

I'm attaching an image

Hello Segundo,

I tried to workaround the problem but to no avail. DataBindings work only with declarative data sources. Unfortunately, your scenario is not supported.

Kind regards,

Does it even return the ID in the node's attribute collection?  e.g. can you use getAttribute to retrieve it?

[Peter]

Hi Marby,

The ID will not be stored in the attributes collection of the menu item in the scenario described here.

All the best,
Peter
