RowType

Remarks

To enable binding TreeList columns to Model fields using lambdas, it is required to declare the TreeList extension using the TreeList<RowType> strongly-typed declaration method.

Note

The partial View with the TreeList extension does not need to be strongly-typed.

The code example below demonstrates how to declare the strongly-typed TreeList with columns bound to data model fields via lambda expressions.

Razor (Partial View)

@(
    // TreeList displays instances of the EditablePost class.
    Html.DevExpress().TreeList<EditablePost>(settings => {
        settings.Name = "treeList";
        settings.CallbackRouteValues = new { Controller = "Home", Action = "TreeListPartial" };

        settings.KeyField(m => m.PostID);
        settings.ParentField(m => m.ParentID);

        // The following columns are bound to Model fields via lambdas.
        settings.Columns.Add(m => m.From);
        settings.Columns.Add(m => m.Subject);
        settings.Columns.Add(m => m.PostDate);
        settings.Columns.Add(m => m.IsNew, c => c.ColumnType = MVCxTreeListColumnType.CheckBox);
        settings.Columns.Add(m => m.HasAttachment, c => c.ColumnType = MVCxTreeListColumnType.CheckBox);
    }).Bind(Model).GetHtml()
)
