Hello, I am new to the Telerik suite and to MVC3. I am trying to use the MVC3 Telerik treeview control with a self-referencing composite key, but cannot see any children - code is below
@model System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<HierarchyMember> ... @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "HierarchyMember", FormMethod.Post)) { Html.Telerik().TreeView().Name("Hierarchy") .BindTo(Model as IEnumerable<HierarchyMember>, mappings => { mappings.For<HierarchyMember>(binding => binding .ItemDataBound((item, hierarchyMember) => { item.Text = hierarchyMember.Description; item.Value = hierarchyMember.HierarchyDefinitionId.ToString(); // - 1st column of Composite Key item.Value = hierarchyMember.EmployeeId.ToString(); //?? - 2nd column of Composite Key item.Expanded = true; }) .Children(hierarchyMember => hierarchyMember.HierarchyMember1)); mappings.For<HierarchyMember>(binding => binding .ItemDataBound((item, hierarchyMember) => { item.Text = hierarchyMember.Description; item.Value = hierarchyMember.HierarchyDefinitionId.ToString(); // - 1st column of Composite Key item.Value = hierarchyMember.EmployeeId.ToString(); //?? - 2nd column of Composite Key }) ); }) .Render(); }
The two *key* columns in my self-referencing table are HierarchyDefinitionId and EmployeeId (in the above I assign both of these fields to the "value" property - this is obviously not correct). HierarchyMember1 (collection of HierarchyMember) is what the Entity Framework (4.1) labels the self-referencing constraint.
The controller referred to above gets the parents (there are three) - but that's all I see on the page - i.e. a tree (no expand icons) with three parents
Does anyone know how I can do (via the above leveraging the self-referencing constraint, or via stored procedure/CTE, etc) ?
Many thanks
