TreeView checkboxes with remote hierarchical datasource MVC - Country / Region

[Beau]

How can I create a treeview layout using checkboxes similar to the example below:

[ ] Country A
        [ ] Region A
                [ ] Territory 1
        [X] Region B
                [X] Territory 2
                [X] Territory 7
[ ] Country B
        [ ] Region C
                [ ] Territory 3
                [ ] Territory 4

I am using the MVC helpers and would like to load the data in one call to the controller i.e. NO on-demand loading.

I've been trying to use the following example: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/treeview/remote-data.html - but I 
don't understand how I should construct the JSON object to include children etc.

Similar post here? - http://www.kendoui.com/forums/kendo-ui-framework/hierarchical-data-source/good-way-to-populate-entire-hierarchical-datasource-with-one-data-call.aspx 

Any examples would be great.

Thanks,
Beau

Hello Beau,

You can either construct and render the TreeView from the server (via the BindTo method, shown in the local data demo), or make an AJAX call and fetch the complete hierarchy, as noted in the linked forum post. The demo that you linked to shows how to do load on demand, which cannot load more than one level at a time.
