System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   HierarchicalDataBoundControl Class

Sets or retrieves the ID of the control from which a HierarchicalDataBoundControl gets its data.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Use the DataSourceID to specify or determine the ID of a control that represents the data source from which a hierarchical data-bound control, such as the Menu and TreeView control, gets its list of data items.

A hierarchical data-bound control is associated to its data source by setting its DataSourceID property to the ID of the data source control. When the DataSourceID property is set, the data-bound control automatically binds to the data source control at run time.

NOTE: This member overrides BaseDataBoundControl.DataSourceID.

The following examples demonstrate how the DataSourceID property is used to associate different hierarchical data-bound controls to a SiteMapDataSource control.
