I have a page with a DataList and a RadTreeView and now I should allow drag'n drop from datalist's items to the treeview. I wonder what is the best approach to do this:
1/ using custom javascript
2/ replacing the DataList with a RadListView, to do the same as this: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/listview/examples/itemdragdrop/defaultcs.aspx

What is the easiest and fastest method?

Hello Jc,

It's better to use RadListView along with the RadTreeView , since both of the controls support drag'n'drop functionality. In order to use this functionality of the ListView , first you should enable it using the following AllowItemsDragDrop="true" property . Also you should add RadListViewItemDragHandle control to your ListView. In order to enable the drag-and-drop functionality of the RadTreeView you should set EnableDragAndDrop="true" property. When the RadTreeView detect a valid drag-and-drop operation it fires a server-side event NodeDrop , where you should perform the desired action.
You have already pointed the demo for the ListView , but there is also e another demo for TreeView drag-and-drop here. Also you could check these two help articles here and here.



All the best,

Hi Sean,

You should be able to drag from the RadTreeView and drop in the RadListView, using a similar logic as the one suggested in my previous post. Both control relies on events for their drag-n-drop operations, so you should handle these event and use your custom logic in order to achieve the desired functionality.
