I had written a page that employed a RadGrid with an EditTemplate that contained a RadTreeView that itself contained a NodeTemplate. It all worked fine until my RadTreeView got too many nodes in it and just ran way too slow. I decided I need to move toward a Load on Demand solution for the RadTreeView. But the complexity of needing to generate a partial tree of templated nodes within an edited RadGrid has proven just more than I can figure out how to do.
So, I've boiled it down to a simple case that I think captures all the important parts of my implementation. There's a commented section in the code-behind that can be uncommented to enable Load on Demand. I didn't supply any of my futile implementations in TreeView_NodeExpand because none of them have worked. I'm asking for what might go in there to make this example work.
My aspx file is:

I don't mean to be pushy, but is it likely that this thread will get attention from Telerik? I need to get a solution to this. I just don't want to wait around patiently for several days only to find it's going to be ignored.
Thanks,

Thanks, Ivana. I think what's missing in your proposal is the TreeData.CanView property. It's not showing up in your checkboxes. If you'll look at my original example, the TreeData "P1" has CanView=true, and the TreeView shows this in the appropriate CheckBox. But yours leaves the CheckBox empty. This is a key part of the problem I was having.
Is this something you overlooked? Is it possible to correct?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I am not sure I understand your last query very well, but if you need to apply the CanView option to the RadButton representing this bit of information you could do the following in the ItemDataBound event of the RadGrid :
as well as in the PopulateChindNodes method:

Yep, this is going to work for me. I was avoiding programmatic creation of the nodes because my templates were complex and had a lot of binding expressions. But I found I could just do node.DataItem:=dataRow and then rework my binding expressions and everything seems to be working well. Thanks for your help.
