Namespace : DevExpress.Blazor
Assembly : DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll
NuGet Package : DevExpress.Blazor
[DefaultValue(null)]
[Parameter]
public string ParentKeyFieldName { get; set; }
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| String | null |
The name of the data field that stores parent node keys. This field’s value is 0 or null for root nodes.

Assign a data source to the Data parameter to bind the TreeList component to data. To build a hierarchical structure of TreeList nodes, specify additional properties that define node relationships:
KeyFieldNameA field that contains unique identifiers for nodes.ParentKeyFieldNameA field that contains parent node identifiers.
To bind the TreeList component to server-side data, you should also specify the HasChildrenFieldName property. Refer to the following topic for additional information: Bind Blazor TreeList to Data.
To identify root nodes, the TreeList checks whether a node’s parent identifier matches RootValue. If the RootValue property is not specified (set to null), the TreeList component identifies root nodes as follows:
Flat Data SourcesWhen bound to flat data, a root node’s parent identifier does not point to any node.Server-Side Data Sources
When bound to server-side data, the parent identifier of root nodes matches one of the following values:
null for nullable data types0 for numeric data typesThe TreeList component does not display a node if its parent identifier does not point to any node.
Note
Data types of RootValue and data source fields assigned to KeyFieldName and ParentKeyFieldName properties should match.
The following example binds the TreeList component to a flat data source and specifies node hierarchy settings:
@inject EmployeeTaskService EmployeeTaskService
<DxTreeList Data="TreeListData" KeyFieldName="Id" ParentKeyFieldName="ParentId">
<Columns>
<DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="Name" Caption="Task" />
<DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="EmployeeName" />
<DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="StartDate" />
<DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="DueDate" />
</Columns>
</DxTreeList>
