Tree View Control

This control has been updated and is now available for use in Html/Javascript: Html Treeview control.

This free Tree view control developed by vectorlight.net for Microsoft's Silverlight technology is a dynamic and highly customizable control for displaying and navigating tree structures, such as a file system, web site, or any other nested structure both client-side or server-side.

To use the TreeView control you will need to add a reference to Liquid.TreeView.dll in your project.

If you are using Silverlight 4 there is an example demonstrating how to use the TreeView to display a client-side file system treeview.

How to Use the Tree Control In XAML Only

In your XAML ensure you have a reference to the Liquid.TreeView.dll in the UserControl tag at the top.  To use the tree control on your Silverlight page and have it be populated completely in XAML:

<UserControl x:Class="TreeViewXAML.Page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:liquidTreeView="clr-namespace:Liquid;assembly=Liquid.TreeView"
    Width="400" Height="300">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
        <liquidTreeView:Tree x:Name="officeTree" Canvas.Top="295" Canvas.Left="200" EnableCheckboxes="true" EnableDragAndDrop="false" Width="300" Height="151" Margin="4">
            <liquidTreeView:Node ID="0" Title="Offices" Icon="images/folder.png" IconExpanded="images/folderOpen.png">
                <liquidTreeView:Node ID="1" Title="Cheshire" Icon="images/folder.png" IconExpanded="images/folderOpen.png">
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="10" Title="Chester" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="11" Title="Stockport" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                </liquidTreeView:Node>
                <liquidTreeView:Node ID="2" Title="Dorset" Icon="images/folder.png" IconExpanded="images/folderOpen.png">
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="20" Title="Bournemouth" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="21" Title="Poole" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="21" Title="Weymouth" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                </liquidTreeView:Node>
                <liquidTreeView:Node ID="3" Title="Devon" Icon="images/folder.png" IconExpanded="images/folderOpen.png">
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="30" Title="Plymouth" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                </liquidTreeView:Node>
                <liquidTreeView:Node ID="4" Title="Hampshire" Icon="images/folder.png" IconExpanded="images/folderOpen.png">
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="40" Title="Portsmouth" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="41" Title="Southampton" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                </liquidTreeView:Node>
                <liquidTreeView:Node ID="5" Title="Lancashire" Icon="images/folder.png" IconExpanded="images/folderOpen.png">
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="50" Title="Blackburn" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                    <liquidTreeView:Node ID="51" Title="Lancaster" Icon="images/doc.png" />
                </liquidTreeView:Node>
            </liquidTreeView:Node>
        </liquidTreeView:Tree>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>


As you can see from above the tree and all it's child nodes are defined in the XAML which is great for simple, non-dynamic trees but what about displaying a structure from a web-service?  That's where populating using C# comes in.

Populating a Tree Using C#

This method of populating a treeview control using C# is used for more advanced structures, such as those whose nodes cannot be determined at design time.

As before, ensure you have a reference to the Liquid.dll in the UserControl tag at the top, in our XAML we only declare the tree object:

<UserControl x:Class="TreeViewProgrammatic.Page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:liquidTreeView="clr-namespace:Liquid;assembly=Liquid.TreeView"
    Width="400" Height="300">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
        <liquidTreeView:Tree x:Name="testTree" Canvas.Top="295" Canvas.Left="200" EnableCheckboxes="true" EnableDragAndDrop="false" Width="200" Height="151" Margin="4" Populate="Tree_Populate" Drop="Tree_Drop" NodeClick="Tree_NodeClick" />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>


In your C# code behind file you can refer to your Tree using testTree.  The Silverlight Tree has several properties for controlling its behaviour, these can be found on the Tree Properties reference page.
