    I'm creating a treeview in MVC using the TreeViewBuilder. like this

     Html.Kendo().TreeView().Name("TreeViewTemplateBiding")....

    I need to get access to the treeview instance in a script. It's not an event, so I can't rely on the tree passing the instance to my function.

    I'm trying, as instructed:

    var myTree = $("#TreeViewTemplateBiding").data('kendoTreeView')

    This does not work, it returns 'undefined'. In fact I can see that $("#TreeViewTemplateBiding") has no data at all.

    Please assist.

    Hi Luis,

    I've tried the following configuration to test this behavior and it works as expected on my side:
    @(Html.Kendo().TreeView()
            .Name("TreeViewTemplateBiding")
            .Items(treeview =>
            {
                treeview.Add().Text("Furniture")
                    .Items(root =>
                    {
                        root.Add().Text("Tables & Chairs");
                        root.Add().Text("Sofas");
                        root.Add().Text("Occasional Furniture");
                    });
     
                treeview.Add().Text("Decor")
                    .Expanded(true)
                    .Items(root =>
                    {
                        root.Add().Text("Bed Linen");
                        root.Add().Text("Throws");
                    });
     
                treeview.Add().Text("Storage")
                    .Items(root =>
                    {
                        root.Add().Text("Wall Shelving");
                        root.Add().Text("Kids Storage");
                        root.Add().Text("Baskets");
                        root.Add().Text("Multimedia Storage");
                    });
            })
    )

    Added a button to call the logic:
    <button onclick="buttonClick();">Access TreeView</button>

    And this is the script logic:
    <script>
        function buttonClick() {
            var treeView = $("#TreeViewTemplateBiding").data().kendoTreeView;
            treeView.expand(treeView.items()[0]);
        }
    </script>

    Please try this configuration and verify that it works properly on your side, too.

    Regards,
