    I am binding tree view to a model. I want to add 'static' parent node. Is it possible? Here is code I am using now. 

    <%
    = Html.Telerik().TreeView()
                    .Name("TreeView")
                    .BindTo(Model, mappings =>
                    {
                    mappings    .For<Employees>(binding => binding
                                .ItemDataBound((item, emp) =>
                                {
                                item    .Text = emp.EmpName;
                                }));                     
                    })            
    %>

    This functionality is not supported. You can add one item through the Items method and load its subnodes through a DataSource binding.

    Although the tree doesn't support it you can work around it using a List inside your model.

    I needed a static node called "UserList" that is in every "company" 
    View:
    mappings.For<OAEntity.Company>(binding => binding
             .ItemDataBound((item, company) =>
             {
                 item.Text = @Html.Partial("CompanyLabel", company).ToHtmlString();
                 item.Id = company.CompanyID.ToString();
                 item.HasChildren = true;
             })
             .Children(company => ((company.UserLists)));
     
               mappings.For<OAEntity.UserList>(binding => binding
               .ItemDataBound((item, user) =>
               {
                   item.Text = @Html.Partial("UserListLabel", user).ToHtmlString();
                   item.Id = user.CompanyID.ToString();
                   item.HasChildren = user.AspnetUser.Any();
               }).Children(location => location.AspnetUser));
     
               mappings.For<OAEntity.Aspnet_User>(binding => binding
               .ItemDataBound((item, user) =>
               {
                   item.Text = @Html.Partial("UserLabel", user).ToHtmlString();
                   item.Id = user.UserId.ToString();
                   item.HasChildren = false;
               }));


    Here is my model (Open Access):
        public partial class Company
        {
             public IEnumerable<UserList> UserLists
            {
                get
                {
                    IEnumerable<UserList> pwa = new List<UserList>
                    {
                        new UserList { Title = "Users", AspnetUser = this.Aspnet_Users, CompanyID = this._companyID }
                    };
                    return pwa;
                }
             }
     
     
        public class UserList
        {
            public string Title;
            public IEnumerable<Aspnet_User> AspnetUser;
            public Guid CompanyID;
            public UserList()
            {
            }
     
        }
    }


    This will return a UserList "model" that can be bound to the tree.
