TreeViewVirtualNode Class

A virtual equivalent of the ASPxTreeView’s TreeViewNode object.

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v25.1.dll

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

public class TreeViewVirtualNode :
    TreeViewNode,
    ITreeViewVirtualNode

Public Class TreeViewVirtualNode
    Inherits TreeViewNode
    Implements ITreeViewVirtualNode

Remarks

In virtual mode nodes should be created in the VirtualModeCreateChildren event handler. If a node has no children in virtual mode, set the TreeViewVirtualNode.IsLeaf property to true, to hide the expand button for this node.

Example

In this demo, the ASPxTreeView uses Virtual Mode to display the file/folder tree of the demo’s web site.
