Hi,

I just tried to populate the RadTreeView control dynamically from code behind using a custom user control added to each Node item and I am curious with the non-persistence state of the Node item data during the Page PostBack. My Node item seems to keep missing from the TreeView everytime the Page is posting back.

For background information, I did not use the DataBinding method and had to manually added the Node item into the TreeView as the database structure that I had does not have the parent-child relationship defined in one table, instead I have to go to three different database tables to link them together in order to get the parent-child relationship for building the TreeView.

I've set the EnableViewState properties of both the RadTreeView and every node item contained in that TreeView but the node item still keep missing. I can repopulate the node item in the TreeView every PostBack event to keep the Node item there, but that means I will loose the event information especially the Drag-N-Drop event.

The situation does not happen if I don't use the custom user control, but I will need the custom control as the standard Node item style does not suit my needs.

Is there anything that you can suggest to me to solve this issue?

Regards

Hello Mark,

You should only add the custom control on every postback, not the whole node - in this way the events will be fired as expected. I suggest you set some Value to this node and then use this Value to find it and add the control to it.

If you have any difficulties with the approach, please write to us again.

Kind regards,

Out of curiousity - how did you accomplish this in the end? In which event did you readd the control to the node?

Im trying to accomplish something similar and have noticed that if I add the control to the PageLoad event, I lose the viewstate.  If I try to add it to OnInit, the node isnt accessible yet so you have to add another node...

thanks!

*EDIT* Nevermind ! this *does* work in the Page_load, my control ID was a victim of the ol' off-by-one error :P

Cheers!

Can you give a specific example about this issue?

i tried to add template control

with

in the page load. but after postback loosing text inside literal.... actually loosing literal

Hello bülent,

Try to do your logic in Page_Init instead in Page_Load.

You can see a simple example at one of our help topics:
