I am having difficulty recreating a tree view from an XML file in a WPF application
I require the tree structure to be displayed with check boxes
Here is a typical XML file I will be reading
<A>
<B>
<BTest1>
</BTest1>
<BTest2>
</BTest2>
<C>
<D>
<DTest1>
</DTest1>
<DTest2>
</DTest2>
</D>
</C>
</B>
<E>
<F>
<FTest1>
</FTest1>
<FTest2>
</FTest2>
</F>
</E>
Here is the MainWindow Class that uses a Node class for the check
boxes
namespace
WpfApplication
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public ObservableCollection<Node>
Nodes { get; private
set; }
public
MainWindow()
{
Nodes = new
ObservableCollection<Node>();
Nodes.Clear();
InitializeComponent();
XmlDocument
doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(@"C:\Temp\simple.xml");
XmlNode
root = doc.DocumentElement;
TreeViewItem
testItems = new TreeViewItem();
//Read in
the XML and create parent child nodes
xmlToParentChildNodes(root);
treeView.ItemsSource = Nodes;
}
private
void xmlToParentChildNodes(XmlNode node)
{
var
parent = new Node()
{ Text = node.Name.ToString() };
var
children = node.ChildNodes.Count;
int
currentNodeCount = Nodes.Count;
if
(node.ChildNodes.Count > 0)
// Dont
add children to the view if they dont have a parent
{
Nodes.Add(parent);
}
foreach
(XmlNode child in
node.ChildNodes)
{
var
childNode = new Node()
{ Text = child.Name.ToString() };
//***********************
Debug *********************
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Node
Reference=" + currentNodeCount +"
Parent=" + node.Name.ToString() + "
No of Children=" + children + "
childNode=" + child.Name.ToString());
//***********************
Debug ********************
parent.Children.Add(childNode);
xmlToParentChildNodes(child);
}
}
The following structure is produced
| Node | Parent | Children |
| 0 | A | B,E |
| 1 | B | BTest1,BTest2,C |
| 2 | C | D |
| 3 | D | DTest1,DTest2 |
| 4 | E | F |
| 5 | F | FTest1, FTest2 |
A recursive method is probably required to recreate the hierarchy - I
am a novice programmer and have been strugglling with this for a long time.
Could somebody please help?
