Get parent columns data while creating child on editformtemplate

[Sapan]

Hi, 

I am using treelist to show heirachical data. 

Both parent and child are stored in same table 

Sample tables: 

SampleTable

1. id 
2. parent id 
3. category id (drop down on editformtemplate)
4. description

When I am creating a child, the parent category id needs to be shown on edit form template

and when a new parent is being created it should allow user to select the value.

I am using hybrid approach of automatic CRUD operation and using formtemplate

Can this be done?

 

Regards,

Hello Swapnil,

Note that in order to use automatic operations the TreeList must be bound to a declarative DataSource control. Moreover the data source should support such operations and they need to be configured.

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/treelist/data-editing/automatic-data-operations

In case you need to implement a more complex scenario with templates it is recommended to update the data source manually.
