TREEVIEW hierarchical ASP.NET



TreView control to display hierarchical data or group break down data or relational data in Asp.Net

In most of the cases developers need to display Hierarchical data or group breakdown using TreeView control in Asp.Net. Most of the ways you can follow to display such type of group data or relational data or hierarchical data such as gridview, repeater control but if something related to navigational issues then I think TreeView control is the perfect control to display Hierarchical or group or relational data. To do this example please create the below three tables with sample data in your database first to run my example code:

Dept_Sub_Techer

Now add an aspx page in your project.
Modify the HTML Matkup code by below code:
01 <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Hierarchical_TreeView.aspx.cs" Inherits="Hierarchical_TreeView" %>
02   
03 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
04   
05 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
06 <head runat="server">
07     <title>TreeView to display hierarchical or group break down data</title>
08 </head>
09 <body>
10     <form id="form1" runat="server">
11     <div>
12         <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lbl" Font-Bold="true">TreeView to display hierarchical data</asp:Label>
13         <hr />
14         <asp:TreeView ID="TreeView1" runat="server" ShowLines="true">
15         </asp:TreeView>
16     </div>
17     </form>
18 </body>
19 </html>

Now go to the page_load event and write the below code:
01 using System;
02 using System.Data;
03 using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
04 using System.Data.SqlClient;
05 using System.Web.Configuration;
06   
07 public partial class Hierarchical_TreeView : System.Web.UI.Page
08 {
09     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
10     {
11         if (!Page.IsPostBack)
12         {
13             string ConnString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["TestConnection"].ConnectionString;
14             using (SqlConnection Conn = new SqlConnection(ConnString))
15             {
16                 string SSQLDepartment = "Select * from Department";
17                 string SSQLSubject = "Select * from Subject";
18                 string SSQLTeacher = "Select * from Teacher";
19                 string SFullSQL = SSQLDepartment + ";" + SSQLSubject + ";" + SSQLTeacher;             
20   
21                 DataSet dsFullData = new DataSet();
22                 SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(SFullSQL, Conn);
23                 da.Fill(dsFullData);
24                 dsFullData.Tables[0].TableName = "Department";
25                 dsFullData.Tables[1].TableName = "Subject";
26                 dsFullData.Tables[2].TableName = "Teacher";
27   
28                 DataRelation Department_Subject = new DataRelation("DeptSub", dsFullData.Tables["Department"].Columns["ID"], dsFullData.Tables["Subject"].Columns["DeptID"]);
29                 dsFullData.Relations.Add(Department_Subject);
30   
31                 DataRelation Subject_Teacher = new DataRelation("SubTech", dsFullData.Tables["Subject"].Columns["ID"], dsFullData.Tables["Teacher"].Columns["SubID"]);
32                 dsFullData.Relations.Add(Subject_Teacher);
33   
34                 foreach (DataRow oDepartment in dsFullData.Tables["Department"].Rows)
35                 {
36                     TreeNode NodeDepartment = new TreeNode();
37                     NodeDepartment.Text = oDepartment["Name"].ToString();
38                     NodeDepartment.Value = oDepartment["ID"].ToString();
39                     TreeView1.Nodes.Add(NodeDepartment);
40   
41                     foreach (DataRow oSubject in oDepartment.GetChildRows("DeptSub"))
42                     {
43                         TreeNode NodeSubject = new TreeNode();
44                         NodeSubject.Text = oSubject["Name"].ToString();
45                         NodeSubject.Value = oSubject["ID"].ToString();
46                         NodeDepartment.ChildNodes.Add(NodeSubject);
47   
48                         foreach (DataRow oTeacher in oSubject.GetChildRows("SubTech"))
49                         {
50                             TreeNode NodeTeacher = new TreeNode();
51                             NodeTeacher.Text = oTeacher["Name"].ToString();
52                             NodeTeacher.Value = oTeacher["ID"].ToString();
53                             NodeSubject.ChildNodes.Add(NodeTeacher);
54                         }
55                     }
56                 }
57             }
58         }
59     }
60 }

Now run the project and hope you will get below interface:
TreeView

Hope now you can represent hierarchical data or group break down data or relational data using asp.net TreeView control.

GRIDVIEW GROUPING

When displaying data, we sometimes would like to group data for better user experience or when displaying long list of hierarchal data, we would want to display them in a tree view kind of structure. There is more than way of doing this, but I am going to explain achieving this functionality using  AJAX Collapsible Panel Extender Control . Overview: I am going to use  Adventure Works  as datasource. Every product in  Production.Product  table belongs to a product sub category. We fetch handful of products and the sub categories they belong to from the database. Our objective is to list all the available sub categories and allow user to  expand/collapse  to look/hide the list of products belonging to each subcategory. Database Connection Added following entry under  connectionStrings  element in  web.config . < add   name = "Sql"   connectionString="Data Source=(local); Initial  Catalog = AdventureWorks ...

ADO.NET Concepts With example

COMMAND OBJECT  Command object is the biggest object in ADO.NET  It is the only object which can perform actions with database  It  can be created directly using Command class or can be created using Connection.Create command (factory classes also contain creation of Command). Ex:  SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection("......");    SqlCommand sqlCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();  Commands that we run depend upon the kind of query that we want to execute with database. All databases support two types of queries. i. Action Queries ii. Non-action Queries Action queries are those which change the state of database and which don‟t return any query results(though they return the number of records affected). Ex: Insert, Delete and Update statements Non-action queries are those which don‟t affect the database but return the results to the user. Ex: Select statement Method of execution of queries: Command object provides the following methods to execute queries: 1. Ex...

Scrollable GridView with Fixed Headers using jQuery Plugin

Using the same example I have created a jQuery Plugin for Scrollable GridView with Fixed header so that you can directly make a GridView scrollable.   HTML Markup < form   id ="form1"   runat ="server"> < asp : GridView   ID ="GridView1"   runat ="server"   AutoGenerateColumns   =   "false"> < Columns > < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "ContactName"   HeaderText   =   "Contact Name"   /> < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "City"   HeaderText   =   "City"   /> < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "Country"   HeaderText   =   "Country"   /> Columns > asp : GridView > form >   Applying the Scrollable Grid jQuery Plugin < script   src ="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"   type ="text/javascript"> script > < script   src ="Scripts/Scro...
