RadTreeNode.Clone()

[LFA]

What happened to the Clone method? It is not mentioned in the radtree server api changes.

Hi LFA,

The Clone method will be implemented for the service pack. It seems we have overlooked it - thanks for bringing this up.

When will the Clone method and the service pack be available? This is a method I commonly use and I want to change a load of pages to use the Prometheus treeview.

As a temporary fix I added RadTreeNode.Clone() using the new Extension Methods feature.

Here you go. I added Remove() because it's also missing. Just import the MyExtensions namespace where you use Clone or Delete. I am not sure if the Clone method works exactly like the original. In my case it works. .NET 3.5 is required.

Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
Imports Telerik.Web.UI
Imports System.Reflection

Namespace MyExtensions
    Public Module TreeNodeExtensions
        <Extension()> _
        Public Function Clone(ByVal node As RadTreeNode) As RadTreeNode
            Dim copy As New RadTreeNode
            For Each prop As PropertyInfo In GetType(RadTreeNode).GetProperties()
                If prop.CanRead And prop.CanWrite Then
                    prop.SetValue(copy, prop.GetValue(node, Nothing), Nothing)
                End If
            Next
            Return copy
        End Function

        <Extension()> _
        Public Sub Remove(ByVal node As RadTreeNode)
            If node.ParentNode Is Nothing Then
                node.TreeView.Nodes.Remove(node)
            Else
                node.ParentNode.Nodes.Remove(node)
            End If
        End Sub
    End Module
End Namespace

Is the clone() method still not implemented?

Cheers

Hi BSolveIT,

The server-side Clone has been implemented already.

Please download and install the latest version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX in order to take advantage of the method in your applications.

Kind regards,

Will there be a client version of the clone function?
