I am doing hiearchical binding to the xamTree and successfully populate the tree to multiple levels.
My question is around binding to the checkboxes. I have read that I can bind to a property in my source tables however whether checked or not varies by user. So, for example, I have a number of hiearchical tables that populate the tree, but I need to bind the checked value based on a different table (queried by user to determine what is checked).
Can anyone give me some guidance on best practices to implement this? I could implement a model which rolls this data up into one hiearchical view, but if theire is an easier way to do it I would prefer...
Thanks!
Please, look at this forum thread for more details on binding the checkboxes in the XamTree.
Let me know if this is what you need.
Yes, thank you, I had seen that thread and it does help.
However, I was looking for more specific guidance on databinding the checkbox values to a different entity. One entity populates the tree and a different entity populates the checkboxes. In the thread example, the checkboxes are populated by a property of the SAME entity populating the tree.
I'm sure I can work it out with some specialized entity just for the above purpose, but I figure this is a very common scenario and I'd like to leverage anything already in the community. Just FYI, we are using WCF RIA services. Not specific to the problem but may help folks understand the architecture we're dealing with.
