Serverside problem when binding treeview to Xml data source

[Earl]

I have created a treeview that binds to an xml data source (I followed the instructions on the following page: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/treeview/examples/programming/xmlfile/defaultcs.aspx). If the 'ExpandMode' property in the data bindings is not set then the data is displayed by the treeview as expected - however, the server postback doesn't work correctly when you click on a node. If you set the ExpandMode property to 'ServerSide' the treeview does not populate correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

        <telerik:RadTreeView ID="XmlRadTreeView" runat="server"
            DataSourceID="TreeViewDataSource"
            DataFieldID="Text"
            DataFieldParentID="Text"
            PersistLoadOnDemandNodes="true"
            Width="550px"
            Height="350px"
            BorderStyle="Solid"
            BorderWidth="1px"
            Font-Size="14px"
            Font-Names="Bookman Old Style"
            BackColor="White"
            EnableViewState="true"
            OnNodeCollapse="XmlRadTreeView_NodeCollapse"
            OnNodeExpand="XmlRadTreeView_NodeExpand"
            OnNodeClick="XmlRadTreeView_NodeClick">
            <DataBindings>
                <telerik:RadTreeNodeBinding DataMember="Node" PostBack="true" ValueField="ID" TextField="Text" ImageUrlField="ImageUrl" ExpandedField="Expanded" ExpandMode="ServerSide"></telerik:RadTreeNodeBinding>
            </DataBindings>
            <NodeTemplate>
                <div class="CustomClass">
                    <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "Text") %>
                </div>
            </NodeTemplate>
        </telerik:RadTreeView>

Hello Earl,

I did some some modifications to your project in order to work fine with data populated from XML data source.
Please keep in mind that DataFieldID and DataFieldParentID are unnecessary in case of using DataBings for DataMember="Node".

Please find the sample project based on the provided demo attached to this response.

Hope that this will lead you into right direction.
