        {

            RadTreeView newTreeNode = treeNodes.Add(xmlNode.Name); Error:Cannot implicitly convert type System.Windows.form.TreeNode to Telaric.Windows.Controls.RadTreeView."

           foreach (XmlAttribute zzz in xmlNode.Attributes)
                {
                    ConvertXmlNodeToTreeNode(zzz, newTreeNode.Items);  Error:For this had some invalid arguments.

Hi,

If i use ItemCollection i am getting Error Like:Cannot implisitly convert "int" to "Telerik.Windows.controls.RadTreeView".

Code:
        ConvertXmlNodeToTreeNode(XmlNode xmlNode, ItemCollection treeNodes)

        {
            RadTreeView newTreeNode = treeNodes.Add(xmlNode.Name);   //Cannot implisitly convert "int" to "Telerik.Windows.controls.RadTreeView".

Hi Ranjith,

The RadTreeView control can work with most of the .NET collections (IEnumerable, IList, etc.). In order to populate the tree you can wrap the objects from your xml file into view models and pass them to the treeview's ItemsSource property. Each object that is in the ItemsSource collection of the treeview will be wrapped into RadTreeViewItem when the tree is loaded.

If you want to populate the control with RadTreeViewItems directly you can use the Items collection of the tree and the Items collection of the RadTreeViewItems. In general the RadTreeView can be populated with RadTreeViewItems. Those items are the WPF alternative for the winforms'  TreeNode class. Note that each RadTreeViewItem has an Items collection itself, which holds the item's children.

Let us take the following tree for example:
-Item 1
   -Item 1.1
   -Item 1.2
-Item 2
   -Item 2.1

The hierarchy in the RadTreeView will be the following:

<telerik:RadTreeView>
    <telerik:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item 1" >
        <telerik:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item 1.1" />
        <telerik:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item 1.2" />
    </telerik:RadTreeViewItem>
    <telerik:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item 2" >
        <telerik:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item 2.1" />
    </telerik:RadTreeViewItem>
</telerik:RadTreeView>

You can take a look at the Populating with Data section in our help that demonstrates several approaches that can be used to populate a RadTreeView. In addition I attached a project that demonstrates populating a RadTreeView from XML file.

Please let me know if this helps.
