Binding a treeview to a tree model

[Andrea]

Hello, i have a tree data structure like the following:

public class MyTreeNode
{
    public string Display{get;set;}
    public List<MyTreeNode> childs {get;set;}
}

how can I bind to this datastructure?

Using your WPF Treeview I was able to do using the following code (data context is a root node that is not displayed)

<TreeView  Name="treeView1" ItemsSource="{Binding Childs}">
    <TreeView.ItemTemplate>
        <HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Childs}">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="18">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Display}" />
            </StackPanel>
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
    </TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>

I do not understand how to do with winforms version of treeview control.

Can anybody please help?

Hello Andrea,

Thank you for writing.

In this case you can set the DisplayMember and ChildMember properties like this:

this.radTreeView1.DisplayMember = "Display\\Display";
this.radTreeView1.ChildMember = "MyTreeNode\\childs";

Also in the following topics you can find detailed information about tree view data binding:

• Data Binding Basics 
• Binding to Self Referencing Data

I hope this information helps. Should you have any other questions, I will be glad to assist you.

Thanks for the answer i did not had a chance to test because i've switched to event driven load on demand, but that's good to know.

Best regards.
