Binding to entity with Children

[Andrew]

Hello guys. I get data for tree from wcf by dto

[DataContract]
[Serializable]
 public class FileHandlerDTO
{
        [DataMember]
        public int Id { get; set; }
        [DataMember]
        public string Name { get; set; }
        [DataMember]
        public string Description { get; set; }
        [DataMember]
        public List<FileHandlerDTO> Children;
}

How can i bind this object to TreeView. At your samples I've seen only through parentId. Your SL analogue of treeview work with such domains well.

Hello Andrew,

You can't bind to such graph of objects directly with the ASP.NET version of RadTreeView. No standard ASP.NET control can do this as well.

What you need here is a hierarchical ObjectDataSource which is not available as part of  ASP.NET. There's an open source project that offers an implementation - Object Hierarchical Data Source

That's what we recommend to use in this case. I hope this helps.
