TreeNode::PopulateOnDemand Property
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the node is populated dynamically.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue to populate the node dynamically; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Sometimes, it is not practical to statically predefine the tree structure due to data size or custom content that depends on user input. Because of this, the TreeView control supports dynamic node population. When a node's PopulateOnDemand property is set to true, that node is populated at run time through a postback event when the node is expanded. To populate a node dynamically, an event-handling method that populates the node must be defined for the TreeNodePopulate event.
Supported browsers can also take advantage of client-side node population. When enabled, this allows the TreeView control to dynamically populate a node on the client when that node is expanded, which prevents the need to post back to the server. For more information on client-side node population, see PopulateNodesFromClient.
