DxTreeList.ChildrenFieldName Property

Specifies the field name that stores the node’s child data items.

Namespace : DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly : DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

csharp
[DefaultValue(null)]
[Parameter]
public string ChildrenFieldName { get; set; }

Property Value

TypeDefaultDescription
Stringnull

The field name that stores children.

|

Remarks

You can bind the TreeList component to hierarchical data structures that implement the IEnumerable interface. If each node in your data source includes a field with a list of child nodes, follow the steps below to populate the TreeList with data:

  1. Bind the Data parameter to a C# property.
  2. Populate this property with data in the OnInitialized or OnInitializedAsync lifecycle method.
  3. Assign the field name that stores children to the ChildrenFieldName property.

The following example binds the TreeList component to the SpaceObject collection. An object’s Satellites property stores child items.

razor
@inject SpaceObjectDataProvider SpaceObjectDataProvider

<DxTreeList Data="TreeListData" ChildrenFieldName="Satellites">
    <Columns>
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="Name" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="TypeOfObject" Caption="Type" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="Mass10pow21kg" Caption="Mass, kg" DisplayFormat="N2">
            <HeaderCaptionTemplate>Mass, 10<sup>21</sup> &#215; kg</HeaderCaptionTemplate>
        </DxTreeListDataColumn>
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="MeanRadiusInKM" Caption="Radius, km" DisplayFormat="N2"/>
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="Volume10pow9KM3" DisplayFormat="N2">
            <HeaderCaptionTemplate>Volume, 10<sup>9</sup> &#215; km<sup>3</sup></HeaderCaptionTemplate>
        </DxTreeListDataColumn>
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="SurfaceGravity" DisplayFormat="N2">
            <HeaderCaptionTemplate>Gravity, m/s<sup>2</sup></HeaderCaptionTemplate>
        </DxTreeListDataColumn>
    </Columns>
