Bind TreeList to local data

[Jason]

Is there a way to bind a TreeList to a local datasource like you can with the grid?

With the grid, you can do this: @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)

The TreeList doesn't seem to like that.

This is surely a bug?

I have just wasted a few hours trying to get a TreeList to display some data.

@(Html.Kendo().TreeList<ExtraDetailsConfigVM.TreeListRowVM>()
.BindTo(Model.TreeListData)
.Name("JRCExtraDetailsTL")......

When my view runs, there is valid data in Model.TReeListData, but no data is output to the html. The resulting json object just contains the column and model definitions, but no data.

So what exactly does BindTo() actually do? NOTHING!

If its not supported, then this should not compile.
If it does compile, then it should work.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. I tested the described scenario and was able to reproduce the problem. I've updated your Telerik points as a token of gratitude.

I will log it in our backlog for further action to determine whether it is a bug or limitation.

Hello Jason,


Indeed the MVC TreeList currently does not have a helper for binding it to local data. You could use the JavaScript implementation instead.

Hello,

Is this still the same? Should we use the JavaScript implementation?

Hi Ziraat,

The TreeList still does not support server binding and the only option for local binding is to use the Kendo UI TreeList.
