//        }
        $("#treeview").kendoTreeView({
          // autoBind: false,
            dataSource: dataSource,
            dataTextField: ["cat_name","prd_name"],

Hello Butter,

The cat_ID of the node that you are expanding will be automatically send to the server. Check the network tab of you browser to see how it is send to the server when playing with the following demo:

Thank Petur Subev for helping me

[Dan]

My data structure is bit different.
Organization [OrgID, OrgName]
     Group [GroupID, OrgID, GroupName]
         Members
            [MembersID, GroupID, MemberName]
    Event
     [EventID, OrgID, EventName] 

 I struggled for a while to represent this structure in treeview.
Questions
 1) Can somebody help? 
       Should I use sql view to produce flat data?
       Or  I can recursively fetch children data given parent ID?
 2) I have basic webapi services working to return Json
      Do I need jsonp callback function to do recursive call to get children datat?


Many thanks.

Hello Dan,

I am afraid that the data structure that you demonstrated cannot be represented by the TreeView, each level of the hierarchy should be with the same strucutre like demonstrated in this demo.

Either make your data flat or parse your models to always have a field with the same name that can be used as dataTextField.
