[Solved] Using LINQ to search nodes?

[Josh Anderson]

Has anyone successfully employed LINQ to search the Nodes collection for a substring in the node's text value?  I have a need to allow site visitors to search the node list without necessarily needing to know the full text of the node.

For example, if I have "Bob's Pizza" buried in the hierarchy, I'd like them to be able to search for "pizza" and select that node.  My thought was to use LINQ to query the collection for matches then allow the person to go from match to match.

Has anyone done this before?  Is it possible?

Hi Josh Anderson,

You can use LINQ to query RadTreeView like this:

var nodes = from node in RadTreeView1.GetAllNodes()
                  where node.Text.EndsWith("1")
                  select node;

        foreach (RadTreeNode node in nodes)
        {
            Response.Write("Matching nodes:" + node.Text);
        }
