Will a binding to a remote datasource be included in the Q2 2012 release?

Please add databinding to the treeview as a matter of urgency. Why aren't you able to use what you learnt from the Telerik MVC treeview which does this binding really well?

Apart from loading the tree on demand, especially on expanding nodes, one of the great benefits of wiring the tree to a dataSource which your sample does not provide is the ability to update the dataSource when renaming or dragging and dropping nodes with batch updates or single updates.

@jpv
Although Telerik could certainly consider a hierarchical datasource (see http://www.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/aspnet/webhierarchicaldatasource.aspx#Overview), a tree can easily be represented in a tabular datasource with a parentId column. A tabular datasource works well with loading on demand since you would load all nodes with the same parentId.

Globally that's what i asked : http://kendo.uservoice.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/2409328-building-a-tree-with-an-object-

In my example, data is loading via ajax (work good even for ~large object giving a tree whith more than 100 lines (<ul> or <li>). But hierarchical data in a datasource ? It's tabular data in fact ?

Nice idea.  CF has nice node level linking from TreeNode Selected - to the grid presentation in an IFrame or Div.
