Adding nodes to an existing tree via client side script

[Oded]

Hi,

I have a an mvc treeview that is initially rendered on the page through a partial view. This is working fine.

I have a combobox on the page and now I need to add a node to the tree based on the selection in the combobox.

I would like to do this in the client side but I couldn't find the right way to do it.

Can I add a node to an already existing node through client side?

This is the partial view of the treenode:

@model Model
@(Html.Telerik().TreeView()
    .Name("TreeView")
    .Items(item => {
        item.Add()
        .Text(Model.Root.ParentName)
        .Value(Model.Root.Value)
        .HtmlAttributes(new {
            MId = Model.Root.Id,
            Type = Model.Root.Type
        }).Items(subItem => {
            for (int i = 0; i < Model.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
            {
                subItem.Add()
                    .Text(Model.ChildNodes[i].Name)
                    .Value(Model.ChildNodes[i].Value)
                    .HtmlAttributes(new {
                        MId= Model.ChildNodes[i].Id,
                        Type = Model.ChildNodes[i].Type
                    });
            }
        });
    }).ExpandAll(true)
)

This is the Action method that returns the partial view:

public ActionResult Hierarchy(int id, Type type)
        {
            var list = new List<Models.someType>();

            var nodes = service.GetNodes();

            HierarchyModel model = new HierarchyModel {
                Root = new HierarchyModel {
                    Id = nodes[0].Id,
                    Name = nodes[0].Name,
                    Type = (Models.Type)nodes[0].Type,
                    Level = nodes[0].Level,
                    Lineage = nodes[0].Lineage
                },
                ChildNodes = (from n in nodes
                              where n.Level == 2
                              select new HierarchyModel {
                                  Id = n.Id,
                                  Name = n.Name,
                                  Type = (CompanyType)n.Type,
                                  Level = n.Level,
                                  Lineage = n.Lineage
                              }).ToList()
            };


            return PartialView("Hierarchy", model);

        }
