How to: Display the File/Folder Tree (Virtual Mode)

  • Dec 17, 2020
  • 2 minutes to read

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.

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);
        }
        foreach (string name in Directory.GetFiles(path))
            if (!IsSystemName(name))
                children.Add(name);
    }
    e.Children = children;
}
protected void ASPxTreeList1_VirtualModeNodeCreating(object sender,
TreeListVirtualModeNodeCreatingEventArgs e) {
    string path = e.NodeObject.ToString();

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