Remarks

The TreeView control is used to display hierarchical data, such as a table of contents or file directory, in a tree structure and supports the following features:

  • Data binding support that allows the nodes of the control to be bound to XML, tabular, or relational data.

  • Site navigation support through integration with the SiteMapDataSource control.

  • Node text that can be displayed as either plain text or hyperlinks.

  • Programmatic access to the TreeView object model to create trees, populate nodes, set properties, and so on, dynamically.

  • Client-side node population (on supported browsers).

  • The ability to display a check box next to each node.

  • The ability to customize appearance through themes, user-defined images, and styles.

For more information on the TreeView control, see TreeView Web Server Control.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to bind the TreeView control to an XML data source.

<asp:TreeView id="BookTreeView" dataSourceID="BookXmlDataSource" runat="server">
<DataBindings>
  <asp:TreeNodeBinding DataMember="Book" TextField="Title"/>
  <asp:TreeNodeBinding DataMember="Chapter" TextField="Heading"/>
  <asp:TreeNodeBinding DataMember="Section" TextField="Heading"/>
</DataBindings>
</asp:TreeView>

<asp:XmlDataSource id="BookXmlDataSource" runat="server">
  <Data>
    <Book Title="Book Title">
    <Chapter Heading="Chapter 1">
      <Section Heading="Section 1">
      </Section>
      <Section Heading="Section 2">
      </Section>
    </Chapter>
    <Chapter Heading="Chapter 2">
      <Section Heading="Section 1">
      </Section>
    </Chapter>
    </Book>
  </Data>
</asp:XmlDataSource>
<asp:TreeView id="BookTreeView" dataSourceID="BookXmlDataSource" runat="server">
<DataBindings>
  <asp:TreeNodeBinding DataMember="Book" TextField="Title"/>
  <asp:TreeNodeBinding DataMember="Chapter" TextField="Heading"/>
  <asp:TreeNodeBinding DataMember="Section" TextField="Heading"/>
</DataBindings>
</asp:TreeView>

<asp:XmlDataSource id="BookXmlDataSource" runat="server">
  <Data>
    <Book Title="Book Title">
    <Chapter Heading="Chapter 1">
      <Section Heading="Section 1">
      </Section>
      <Section Heading="Section 2">
      </Section>
    </Chapter>
    <Chapter Heading="Chapter 2">
      <Section Heading="Section 1">
      </Section>
    </Chapter>
    </Book>
  </Data>
</asp:XmlDataSource>
