Hierarchy not showing

[Lucian Chiriac]

Hello, i have the following problem:
Using the TreeView with a LINQ dataa source (hierarchical), the tree does not load correctly. Everything is shown as a list:

<telerik:RadTreeView ID="t" runat="server" DataSourceID="lnq" DataFieldID="CategoryId" DataFieldParentID="ParentId" DataTextField="Name"> </telerik:RadTreeView>

<asp:LinqDataSource ID="lnq" runat="server" ContextTypeName="BLA.DataContext"

OrderBy="Name" Select="new (CategoryId, Name, ParentId)" TableName="Categories">

</asp:LinqDataSource>


I really don't see what is the problem :(
This is a sample of the data (CategoryId, Name, ParentId)

1,"First node",

NULL

2,"TEST 2222",1

3,"Test 13453",2

4,"zuzud",3

Best regards,
Lucian

Hi Lucian Chiriac,

Unfortunately at the time being RadTreeView does not support hierarchical binding to LinqDataSource. Binding via the DataFieldID/DataFieldParentID works only with Sql/AccessDataSource and when directly binding to DataTable, DataSet or DataView.

Thank you for the response. Looking forward for the next version :)

Disappointing. I had a requirement for the very same hierarchical binding concept.

I don't wish to use a DataSet/DataTable/DataView, so it's now to be done the good ol' way... hand-coding.
