About RadTreeList for ASP.NET AJAX

The Telerik AJAX TreeList control is the perfect fit for scenarios in which you will need to combine treeview and grid in one control. Its hybrid structure empowers you with the ability to visualize self-referencing data in a hierarchical view defining primary/foreign key relations and using identical objects for source. The treelist benefits both from a treeview's expand/collapse and items aligning capabilities as well as from typical grid's features like sorting, paging, row selection, etc.

RadTreeList and 120+ other controls are part of UI for ASP.NET AJAX, a comprehensive toolset taking care of the common functionality of your application, while leaving you with more time to work on its business logic.

Key Features

  • Various column types
  • Codeless data-binding using the DataSourceControls.
  • Data-Binding to various data sources which implement the IEnumerable, IList or ICustomTypeDescriptor interfaces.
  • Integrated paging, sorting and selecting.
  • Easily customizable skinning mechanism (setting single Skin property of the treelist).
  • The ShowOuterBorders, ShowTreeLines and GridLines properties allow you to quickly change the appearance.
  • Interoperability with RadAjax and loading indicators.
  • The expanded and the selected state of the items is persisted while navigating through pages
