TreeListVirtualModeCreateChildrenEventArgs.NodeObject Property

Gets the processed node object.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.ASPxTreeList

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.ASPxTreeList.v20.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

public object NodeObject { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property NodeObject As Object

Property Value

Type	Description
Object	An object that represents the node object.

Remarks

To access the current instance of the node object, type cast the NodeObject property’s value to the type of your data.

Example

In this example, the ASPxTreeList uses the Virtual data binding method to display the file/folder tree. In this mode, a tree is created on demand.

The image below shows the result.

C#

using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using DevExpress.Web.ASPxTreeList;

protected void ASPxTreeList1_VirtualModeCreateChildren(object sender,
TreeListVirtualModeCreateChildrenEventArgs e) {
    string path = e.NodeObject == null ? Page.MapPath("~/") : e.NodeObject.ToString();

    List<string> children = new List<string>();
    if (Directory.Exists(path)) {
        foreach (string name in Directory.GetDirectories(path)) {
            if (!IsSystemName(name))
                children.Add(name);

    }
    e.Children = children;
}

    string path = e.NodeObject.ToString();

    e.NodeKeyValue = GetNodeGuid(path);
    e.IsLeaf = !Directory.Exists(path);
    e.SetNodeValue("FileName", PopFileName(path));
