RadTreeView for ASP.NET Ajax - Binding to LinqDataSource

Posted by: the telerik blogs, on 01 Oct 2008 | View original | Bookmarked: 0 time(s)

Since the Q2 2008 SP1 release RadTreeView, RadMenu, RadPanelBar and RadTabStrip support hierarchical databinding to the LinqDataSource control. In this blog post I will demonstrate how to do this with RadTreeView (the steps are identical for the aforementioned controls).

  1. Create a new Web Site in Visual Studio 2008 and copy the Nortwind database in your App_Data folder
  2. Add a new "Linq to SQL classes" item named "Northwind.dbml"
    dataclasses
  3. Open "Northwind.dbml" in design mode and drag the Employees table from Server Explorer. The Employees table is self referencing and suites perfectly for this example
    employees
  4. Open Default.aspx in design mode and drag a new RadTreeView instance.
  5. Open the smart tag and select "New data source":
    datasource
  6. Choose "LinqDataSource" from the "Data Source Configuration Wizard":
    linqdatasource
  7. Configure the newly created datasource to use the NorhtwindDataContext object:
    choosecontextobject
  8. Select the "EmployeeID", "LastName" and "ReportsTo" columns from the "Configure Data Source" dialog:
    configuredataselection
  9. Click "Finish" and open the RadTreeView smart tag to complete the configuration
  10. Select "EmployeeID" for the DataFieldID property, "ReportsTo" for the DataFieldParentID property and "LastName" for the DataTextField property:

  11. Save your page and run the web site. You should see the following page:
