ItemTemplate at Runtime

[Mark]

Hi,
i have successfully added a label to the node template and populated this with a database field. (using Adding and Editing Templates at Runtime help).

I am trying to add more labels, which i can do, however...
How do i assign another fieldname to this label ?
ie; label1 shows EmailSubject, label2 needs to show EmailFrom, etc..

Thanks
Mark

Heres what i have working so far...

trvEmails.DataSource = myDataTable

trvEmails.DataTextField =

"EmailSubject"

 

trvEmails.DataBind()

 

Public Sub InstantiateIn(ByVal container As Control) Implements System.Web.UI.ITemplate.InstantiateIn

 

 

Dim lbl As New Label()

 

lbl.ID =

"Label"

 

 

AddHandler lbl.DataBinding, AddressOf lbl_DataBinding

 

 

Dim lbl2 As New Label()

 

lbl2.ID =

"Label2"

 

 

AddHandler lbl2.DataBinding, AddressOf lbl2_DataBinding

 

container.Controls.Add(lbl)

container.Controls.Add(lbl2)

 

End Sub

 

 

Private Sub lbl_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

 

 

Try

 

 

Dim target As Label = sender

 

 

Dim node As RadTreeNode = DirectCast(target.BindingContainer, RadTreeNode)

 

 

Dim itemText As String = DirectCast(DataBinder.Eval(node, "Text"), String)

 

target.Text = itemText

 

Catch ex As Exception

 

 

End Try

 

 

End Sub

 

 

Private Sub lbl2_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

 

 

Try

 

 

Dim target As Label = sender

 

 

Dim node As RadTreeNode = DirectCast(target.BindingContainer, RadTreeNode)

 

 

Dim itemText As String = DirectCast(DataBinder.Eval(node, "Text"), String)

 

target.Text = itemText

 

Catch ex As Exception

 

 

End Try

 

 

End Sub

Hello Mark,

I suggest you use Custom Attributes to pass additional values to the nodes of RadTreeView. This help article shows how you can these values from the database.

I hope this helps.

Hi,
Not really what i meant (Custom Attributes).

All i want to do is display a node with multiple lines of text (ie; labels - above and below each other ).
For example, the top line of the node text will be black and bold. the 2nd line will be blue underlined..etc...

Plus, these labels text need to be drawn from a database.

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

Please check the attached sample project which shows the needed approach, you just have to style the labels in the node template of RadTreeView. 

I hope it helps.

All the best,
