Select Individual XML Bound Items in TreeView

Answer 1

I was able to get this to work with the xaml below.

There were two basic issues I ran into with your code:

1. Both levels of your treeview were using "DataTemplate" instead of the "outer" one being defined as a "HierarchicalDataTemplate" -- so you had to put the ItemsSource on the TreeViewItem, which appears to have caused the "selection as a group" issue

2. I was having trouble getting selection to work at all using TreeViewItems, but after converting the DataTemplates to show a Label (you could display any sort of simple or complex set of controls in here), it worked perfectly. WPF automatically inserts "TreeViewItem" controls to wrap whatever you bind into a TreeView, so you don't need to do it explicitly.

       <TreeView DockPanel.Dock="Left" Height="auto" Name="treeView1" Width="217" SelectedItemChanged="UIProfileTreeViewSelectedItemChanged" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
         <TreeView.DataContext>
           <XmlDataProvider Source="Profiles.xml" XPath="/Profiles/Customer"/>
         </TreeView.DataContext>
         <TreeView.Resources>
           <HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="Customer" ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=Profile}">
               <Label Content="{Binding XPath=Name}" />
           </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
           <DataTemplate DataType="Profile">
               <Label Content="{Binding XPath=DisplayText}" />
           </DataTemplate>
         </TreeView.Resources>
       </TreeView>
   

Hope this helps!
