ServerSide - How to check if node has children?

[Andy]

Need help with the following:.

I am loading a treeview on pageload.
The user clicks on a button... at serverside I want to insert several new nodes to a Parent Node only if the child nodes does not already exists.

Now I can find the parent node... it exists.  By doing the following I thought I get a count of the "child" nodes.  I am getting 0 (zero) count event though that node (that I found) has child nodes.

 

pNode = rtv.FindNodeByValue(nodeVal.ToUpper(),

true);

 

 

if (pNode != null)

 

{

    int count =  pNode.Nodes.Count

 

 

}

How can I determine if a node has child nodes serverside?
Thanks.

Hello Andy,

Yes, one way is to use :

int count = node.Nodes.Count;

However this will return only the next level of nodes which are children of the current node. To be able to get the count of all child nodes there is a new method since Version 2010.2.713 called GetAllNodes().

int count1 = node.GetAllNodes().Count;

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thank for your response.

You mention that the following should work... but it does not.  I you look at my  code "snippet"...
I verified that I found "pNode"... and 100% sure that it has child nodes (visually it's there).  Yet the following return zero...

int count = node.Nodes.Count;

I will try your suggestion and hopefully have better luck.

int count1 = node.GetAllNodes().Count;

Thanks again.
