Bind Treeview to network share?

[Andrew]

Is the capability there for the Treeview control to bind to a network share location (\\server\sharedfolder\subfolder), and then be able to make a selection and return the filename to be passed to another operation?

Should add that the objective is to include this into a dialog for a file selection prompt.

Hello Andrew,

The Kendo TreeView is a client-side widget that uses the HierarchicalDataSource to be bound to server-side endpoints. Here are some demos that show serve-side data binding:

As for binding to a file structure, it is up to the server-side implementation that should read from the network drive and translate a readable client-side format and bind it to the client-side treeview.
