Overview

The ASP.NET Core TreeView presents hierarchical data, such as a table of contents, organization hierarchy, or file directory, in a tree structure. A parent node can be expanded or collapsed to show or hide its child nodes. The TreeView is feature-rich, supporting data binding, loading on demand, multiple selection, drag and drop, node editing, checkboxes, templates, and more.


Why choose Syncfusion Essential Studio® ASP.NET Core TreeView?

A high performance ASP.NET Core Tree View.

High performance

Load on demand (lazy load) is enabled by default to reduce bandwidth usage when consuming large amounts of data. Only first-level nodes are loaded initially, and then child nodes are loaded when their parent node is expanded.

ASP.NET Core TreeView seamless data binding.

Seamless data binding

Bind data to the TreeView component from any valid data source in JSON format. The tree data can be local or remote and retrieved via various adapters, such as OData, OData V4, URL, JSON, and web API.

ASP.NET Core TreeView resolution.

Adapts to any resolution

TreeView has a highly responsive layout and an optimized design for desktops, touchscreens, and phones. It works well on all mobile phones that use iOS, Android, or Windows OS.

ASP.NET Core TreeView admirable feature set.

Admirable feature set

The ASP.NET Core TreeView supports load on demand, bound and unbound modes, drag and drop, multiselection, and editing.

ASP.NET Core TreeView template designs.

Create your own template designs

It can be customized via node template support, which allows you to design a custom structure for tree nodes. Node templates can be used for parent nodes, child nodes, or both, and can include images and any custom element structure.

ASP.NET Core TreeView hierarchical data.

Visualize hierarchical data

The ASP.NET Core TreeView is a graphic user interface element that displays hierarchical data as a tree structure. It can be populated with nested arrays of JSON objects from a hierarchical data source.

ASP.NET Core TreeView customizable themes.

Attractive, customizable themes

Cutting-edge design with several built-in themes, such as Fluent, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Material, and Fabric. Utilize the online Theme Studio tool to customize themes of treeview easily.

We do not sell the ASP.NET Core Tree View separately. It is only available for purchase as part of the Syncfusion team license. This contains over 1,800 components and frameworks, including the ASP.NET Core Tree View. The price of the team license starts at $395 per month for 5 developers, and includes support and updates until the subscription expires. In addition, we might offer discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our product specialists today to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.

You can find our ASP.NET Core Tree View demo, which demonstrates how to render and configure the TreeView.

No, our 1,800+ components and frameworks for web, mobile, and desktop, including our ASP.NET Core Tree View, are not sold individually. They are only available as part of a team license. However, we have competitively priced the product, so it only costs a little bit more than what some other vendors charge for their Tree View control alone. We have also found that, in our experience, our customers usually start off using one of our products and then expand to several products quickly, so we felt it was best to offer all 1,800+ components and frameworks for a subscription fee that starts at $395 per month for a team of 5 developers. Additionally, we might be able to offer discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our product specialists today to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.

No, this is a commercial product and requires a paid license. However, a free community license is also available for companies and individuals whose organizations have less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue, 5 or fewer developers, and 10 or fewer total employees.

A good place to start would be our comprehensive getting started documentation.
