[Solved] Model binding multiple/dynamic treeviews

[Jay]

With the help of the topics in this forum, I've been able to successfully bind my Model.IEnumerable<T> to a treeview, and I'm catching the checked box list in the controller (which has a parameter for the list). My question is how do I do this for multiple dynamically created treecontrols?

Also, is there a way to bind it directly to the model such that in the controller, the "Model" stays populated with the selection, rather than having a separate List<TreeViewItem> parameter. Does the KendoUI upgrade do that?

This is my controller, note the one parameter for the single treeview:

[HttpPost]
        public ViewResult Search(AssetSearchModel model, string Search, string page, List<TreeViewItem> DomainTree_checkedNodes, string sort = "assetid", string order = "asc")
        {
            var button = Search;
            if (button == "Search")
            {
                HttpContext.Session["AssetSearchModel"] = null;
            }

            string message = string.Empty;
            if (DomainTree_checkedNodes != null)
            {
                foreach (TreeViewItem node in DomainTree_checkedNodes)
                {
                    message += node.Text + "<br/>";
                }
            }
            //ViewData["message"] = message;
            ViewData["DomainTree_checkedNodes"] = DomainTree_checkedNodes;

.......
}

This is my view - my intention is to put this in a loop, and bind multiple dynamic treeviews:

List<TreeViewItem> checkedNodes = ViewData["DomainTree_checkedNodes"] as List<TreeViewItem>;


@(Html.Telerik().TreeView()
.Name("DomainTree")
.ShowCheckBox(true)

.BindTo(Model.SearchControls[y].DomainTree, mappings =>
{
    mappings.For<TreeItem>(binding => binding
            .ItemDataBound((item, treeitem) =>
            {
                item.Value = treeitem.dcvid.ToString();
                item.Text = treeitem.text;
                if (checkedNodes != null)
                {
                    var checkedNode = checkedNodes
                                        .Where(e => e.Value.Equals(treeitem.dcvid.ToString()))
                                        .FirstOrDefault();
                    item.Checked = checkedNode != null ? checkedNode.Checked : false;
                }

            })
            .Children(treeitem => treeitem.children));
}));
