Namespace:
System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:
System.Web.dll

Gets or sets the node depth at which the TreeNodeBinding object is applied.

Public Property Depth As Integer

Property Value

Int32

The node depth at which the TreeNodeBinding object is applied. The default is -1, indicating that the Depth property is not set.

Attributes
TypeConverterAttribute

Examples

This section contains two code examples. The first code example demonstrates how to use the Depth property to apply a TreeNodeBinding object at a specific node depth. The second code example provides sample XML data for the first code example.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Depth property to apply a TreeNodeBinding object at a specific node depth. For this example to work correctly, you must copy the sample XML data, provided after this code example, to a file named Book.xml.

Remarks

A node depth specifies the node level that gets bound. For example, the following TreeNodeBinding declaration binds the Name and ID fields of the data source to the Text and Value properties, respectively, of all nodes with a depth of 0:

<asp:TreeNodeBinding Depth="0" TextField="Name" ValueField="ID">

When creating a TreeNodeBinding object, you must specify the criteria for binding. The criteria indicates when a data item should be bound to a node. You can specify the Depth or DataMember property, or both properties. There is a slight performance gain by specifying both.

Once the binding criteria is established, you can then bind a property of a TreeNode object that can be bound to a value. You can bind to a field of a data item or to a static value. When bound to a static value, all TreeNode objects to which the TreeNodeBinding object is applied share the same value.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
