How to Maintain Tree view state after page post back in ASP.NET 2.0

How to Maintain Tree view state after page post back in ASP.NET 2.0

In the web application if page get post back then it's very difficult to maintain tree view previous state. I am giving one sample code in C#.net to maintain tree view state when page get post back.

Here we can save tree view state into List control and Restore saved state when page again get post back or user clicks F5/refresh.

//to saves tree view state

private void SaveTreeViewState(TreeNodeCollection nodes, List<string> list)

{

Session["TreeViewState"] = null;

// Recursivley record all expanded nodes in the List.

foreach (TreeNode node in nodes)

{

if (node.ChildNodes != null)

{

if (node.Expanded.HasValue && node.Expanded == true

&& !String.IsNullOrEmpty(node.Text))

{

list.Add(node.Text);

}

if (node.ShowCheckBox == true

&& node.ChildNodes.Count == 0

&& node.Parent.Expanded == true)

{

if (node.Checked == true)

list.Add(node.ValuePath + "-T");

else

list.Add(node.ValuePath + "-F");

}

SaveTreeViewState(node.ChildNodes, list);

}

}

}

//to Restore treeview state after postback

private void RestoreTreeViewState(TreeNodeCollection nodes, List<string> list)

{

foreach (TreeNode node in nodes)

{

// Restore the state of one node.

if (list.Contains(node.Text)

list.Contains(node.ValuePath + "-T")

list.Contains(node.ValuePath + "-F"))

{

if (node.ChildNodes != null && node.ChildNodes.Count != 0

&& node.Expanded.HasValue

&& node.Expanded == false)

{

if (node.Parent != null)

{

if (list.Contains(node.ChildNodes[0].ValuePath + "T")

list.Contains(node.ChildNodes[0].ValuePath + "-F"))

node.Expand();

}

else

{

node.Expand();

}

}

else if (node.ChildNodes != null && node.Expanded.HasValue

&& node.Expanded == false)

{

if (node.ShowCheckBox == true && list.Contains(node.Parent.Text)

&& list.Contains(node.Parent.Parent.Text))

{

if (list.IndexOf(node.ValuePath + "-T") != -1)

{

node.Checked = true;

}

else if (list.IndexOf(node.ValuePath + "-F") != -1)

{

node.Checked = false;

}

}

}

}

else

{

if (node.ChildNodes != null && node.ChildNodes.Count != 0

&& node.Expanded.HasValue

&& node.Expanded == true)

node.Collapse();

}

// If the node has child nodes,restore their state, too.

if (node.ChildNodes != null && node.ChildNodes.Count != 0)

RestoreTreeViewState(node.ChildNodes, list);

}

}

How to Use

//You can use this in pageload event

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!IsPostBack)

{

if (Session["TreeViewState"] != null)

{

//Call method to restore tree view state

List<string> list = (List<string>)Session["TreeViewState"];

RestoreTreeViewState(tvFamilyModels.Nodes, list);

}

}

else

{

//Record the TreeView's current expand/collapse state.

List<string> list = new List<string>(100);

SaveTreeViewState(tvFamilyModels.Nodes, list);

Session["TreeViewState"] = list;

}

}
