Hi all,

in a module I want to use a DnnComboBox (DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnComboBox). To fill it with data, I did the following:

(ascx:)
<dnn:DnnComboBox ID="myComboBox" runat="server" />

(c#:)
StringBuilder items = new StringBuilder();
items.Append("<Items>");
items.Append("<Item Text=\"A\" Value=\"1\" />");
items.Append("<Item Text=\"B\" Value=\"2\" />");
items.Append("<Item Text=\"C\" Value=\"3\" />");
items.Append("</Items>");
this.myComboBox.LoadXml(items.ToString());

(The reason for StringBuilder is that I want to fill data from a database at a later stage).

When running the code I get a System.InvalidOperationException, message: "Error in XML document (1,2)".
The inner exception reads: "Message=<Items xmlns=''> was not expected."

I also tried to start with
items.Append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>");

This changed the error message to "Error in XML document (1,41)", so it is obviously not important.

Can anybody tell me what this means and how to do it correctly?

Best wishes
Michael

Mike,

it is a bit more complex (or it should be at the end...). What I want is more like this example:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/...

and I am trying to bind data from an XML string, like here:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/...

The problem is, I get this error even when I am trying this code with an XML file - which at the end should be a generated XML string that contains the tree like


<Items>
   <Item value="1" text="A">
      <Items>
      <Item value="11" text="A1">
      <Item value="12" text="A2">
         <Items>
            <Item value="111" text="A1.1">
            <Item value="112" text="A1.2">
            <Item value="113" text="A1.3">
         </Items>
      </Item>
      <Item value="13" text="A3">
   </Item>
   <Item value="2" text="B" />
   <Item value="3" text="C" />
</Item>

Any idea?

Best wishes

Solved... Adding the TreeNodes programatically works...

Only one more question: I did not find such thing as a DnnTreeNode that corresponds to Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode. Is it OK to use Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode in the code-behind?

DnnTreeView tree = (DnnTreeView)myComboBox1.Items[0].FindControl("myTreeView");
Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode node = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode("A", "1");
node.Expanded = true;
tree.Nodes.Add(node);

Best wishes
Michael
