I have some xml representing a table of contents for marketing reports. the xml has data in some different attributes depending on the node name. So, a little custom parsing is necessary.

The xml has three kinds of nodes
"table-of-contents" (this is the root node)
"section" nodes (can contain child section nodes or table nodes)
"table" nodes"

I want to transform this xml into a tree view:

This is what I have but I'm having trouble with the syntax and the arguments to the BindTo method. Please help me fix it up. I think that I must be close.

var toc = @"

<table-of-content>

</section>

</table-of-content>";

var root = XElement.Parse(toc); //var root = XElement.Parse(Model.TableOfContents)); .

Html.Telerik().TreeView()

.Name("TreeView")

.BindTo(root.Elements, mappings => mappings.For<XElement>(binding =>

binding.ItemDataBound((item, node) =>

{

if(node.Name == "section")

{

item.Text = node.Attribute("section-id").Value.Substring(1); //chop off first char

}

else if (node.Name == "table")

{

item.Text = "table " + node.Attribute("table-id").Value.Substring(1); //chop off first char

}

else

{

item.Text = "Table of Contents";

}

})

.Children(node => node.Elements)

)).Render();
