Treeview with Template - item.text undefined

[Paul]

Hi there,

I am attempting to get the Treeview template to work, similar to the demo for the MVC treeview:

<script id="treeview-template" type="text/kendo-ui-template">
    #: item.text #
    # if (!item.items) { #
    <a class='delete-link' href='\#'></a>
    # } #
</script>

<div class="row">
    <div class="form-group col-md-12">
        @(Html.Kendo().TreeView()
            .Name("treeview")
            .TemplateId("treeview-template")
            .DataTextField("Name")
            .DragAndDrop(true)
            .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Read(read => read
                    .Action("Parties", "TreeView")
                )
            )
            .Events(events => events
                .Drop("onDrop")
            )
        )
    </div>
</div>

However, the item.text expression always evaluates as undefined - not sure what I am doing wrong? If I remove this, the item.items expression on the next line is correctly evaluated.

Thanks,

Paul,

What is the name of the datasource value you wish to display.  If it is not "text", it will not work. I ran into this same issue earlier today and had to change mine to item.name and, voila!

Best of luck!

Hello Paul,

Laurie is right. From the TreeView definition, it appears that the data item field that you want to access is Name (what is specified in the DataTextField). The problem should be resolved if you use item.Name instead.

Hi there,

I could have sworn that I tried "item.Name" several times before starting this post and it hadn't worked. Of course, it's working now - thanks!
