Templates

  • The Greatest Rock Albums
    • Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
      • Sticky Fingers This was the first album recorded on the Rolling Stones' own label, the first in which Mick Taylor played guitar on all the tracks, and only the fourth to be released worldwide.
    • Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV
    • Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland
    • The Beatles Revolver

RadTreeView fully supports templates. You can embed any content inside a RadTreeView template:

  • HTML markup
  • ASP.NET server controls
  • Third-party controls (other Telerik controls as well)

You can define two types of RadTreeView templates:

  1. Global Templates - template that is automatically applied to all tree-nodes: 
    <telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server">
    <NodeTemplate>
        ...
    </NodeTemplate>
</telerik:RadTreeView>
  2. Per-node template - template that overrides the global template on a node basis. 
    <telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server">
    <telerik:RadTreeNode Text="Node">
        <NodeTemplate>
            ...
        </NodeTemplate>
    </telerik:RadTreeNode>
</telerik:RadTreeView>

This example shows the usage of per-node templates.

Please note that the RadTreeView should be bound to use the DataBinder.Eval expressions in the templates:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
        RadTreeView1.DataBind();
    }
}
