Using Syncfusion ejTreeGrid with a Wisej.Web.BindingSource

Answered

Hi all,

Do you think it’s possible to use DataBindings with ejTreeGrid or other widgets from Syncfusion or devExpress?

Would be nice to know if it’s possible and if so, how to achieve it. I can’t imagine, that it would be as easy as providing a simple Wisej.Web.BindingSource like in a DataGridView.

Any hints are welcome, thanks,

Jan

Hi Jan

Thanks for your interest in Wisej

Reviwing your post whit our develop team, I comment you next

The third party javascript control use trivial data binding based on simple api requests
leaving all the real binding work to the developer on the server side.

Full control data binding is very complex
So extracting the data from a data source and updating the data source is not as simple as
DataSource = data.

Wisej makes it look like it’s simple. But you have to match the column data names, manage
the position, read and format the data, parse it back, manage errors, etc etc.

The easiest way to data bind to javascript controls is to do it the way they have been designed to:
— return json data in response to their http request and read the json data they send using an http post.

We provide some level of data source databinding in our integrations but it’s limited
because all those controls are not designed with the server side in mind.
Additionally data binding a hierarchical tree gets even more messy.

Hope to be help

Regards

Ok, thanks Paul.

It’s like I thought. So we will use such controls mostly for display only.

I’ve already seen some examples with the WebRequest handler to send data to the control.

We also can work with some edit-events and read data back with WidgetEventArgs. I’ll figure it out.

Greetings,

Jan
