Grouped Binding

[Mike]

Hello,

This is probably embarrassingly simple, but I haven't been able to work it out... I've got some data that look like this:

Group        ItemID        ParentID
Things         1                0
Things         2                0          
Things         3                2
Stuff             4                0
Stuff             5                4

I get that I can put it in a treeview using the standard binding properties with itemID and parentID... but I want to have the group as the first level thing.

I've done this in code using a big/silly/messy procedure, and that works, but it's slower than I'd like, and it sometimes times out when the treeview is rendering.

So yeah - is it possible to create the 3 levels with that kind of data?

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

Can you please explain in more detail how do you want your treeview to look like?
Is it something like this?

Things
       |- 1
            |- 0
Things
       |- 2
            |- 0
Stuff
       |- 4
            |- 0
Stuff
       |- 5
            |- 4

Hello,

Close - the key is that I want "things" and "stuff" to be grouped... It ideally should look like this:

-Things
   -1
   -2
        -3
-Stuff
    -4
         -5

Is that possible to do at all? The key would be basically making the top level a group and then doing a normal tree underneath those...

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

Well, you need to manually iterate through your data and create the RadTreeNode objects and hierarchy. You might use the DataRelation class.
