I am building a treeview with a grid like template (it may also become a listview rather than a grid). When I load the non-templated nodes via .aspx it works fine, when I try do build the tree dynamically on server side it fails with the following error:

The DataSourceID of 'ctl00' must be the ID of a control of type IDataSource. A control with ID 'Level 0' could not be found

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, any assistance would be appreciated.

I have attached a picture of what the correct display.

Working code:

Hello Kevin,

The problem is that you set the template globally for all the nodes, so it tries to add the grid for the first node with text "Level 0" and searches for a datasource with such ID, hence the error.

You can define the template in Page_Load event only for some nodes as it's demonstrated in our help article here:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!Page.IsPostBack)

{

RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(new RadTreeNode("root1"));

RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(new RadTreeNode("root2"));

}

TextBoxTemplate template = new TextBoxTemplate();

foreach (RadTreeNode node in RadTreeView1.GetAllNodes())

{

template.InstantiateIn(node);

}

RadTreeView1.DataBind();

}
