Hi.
I am using the Rad Treeview for Win Forms.
I am trying to bind the tree to a datatable.
The table consists of columns that include ID and ParentID
However, the ID and ParentID are GUID's. Am I correct in assuming that the columns need to be integers? As the binding is giving me weird errors (Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.RelatedPropertyManager' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager'.)
What do you suggest I do to fix this? Is my only option to go and create a method that will loop through each of these rows in my table and convert their GUID's into integers and match up the related ParentID's?
Thanks for any help,
Kris

Hi Chris,
Currently RadTreeView uses the string representation of the ID field of the bound records.
This means that one can have integer IDs (which is the most common case).
Judging by the error message you sent us, it seems that a CurrencyManager cannot be found using the given DataSource and DataMember. This most probably means the RadTreeView is bound to a data source that it does not support.
It will be best if you open a support ticket and send us a sample project so we can investigate further.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Hmm. That's alot of effort to create a new project with the datatable etc.
All I want to know is:
Does the Win Forms Treeview allow you to have the ID and Parent ID (In the self referencing mode) as Guids? ie: 682b61d0-fdb3-4c9f-8c0c-d511c80a1f07

Hello Chris,
The RadTreeView does currently not support Guids as IDs. We are planning to include this functionality in the upcoming Q2 SP2 release.
For the time being, you could try mapping the Guids to integers before binding RadTreeView to the data.
Thank you for your question. Contact us again, if we could be of further assistance.
