Data binding

You can bind data to the TreeView control from any valid data source, such as XML, JSON, and JSONP. The tree data can be local or in any remote service and fetched using different kinds of adaptors like OData, OData V4, URL, JSON, and Web API.


Load on demand

The ASP.NET Web Forms TreeView control has a load-on-demand option that allows you to load huge amounts of data by dynamically loading the data on demand, which improves the control’s performance.

Also, child nodes in the control can be loaded from any web services or inserted dynamically.

Display nodes with labels and icons to present content in a more readable format. This is helpful in making a typical directory tree and file system.


Checkbox support

The ASP.NET Web Forms TreeView control provides built-in support for checkboxes, allowing users to select more than one item.

The tree view checkbox has a tri-state mode also, which is applicable only for parent nodes. In this mode, the parent node will go into the indeterminate state when the child nodes are partially checked.
