Hello Zeshan,

After investigating this further, I determined that your requirement regarding adding WebDataTree as an item in WebExplorerBar group could be achieved by creating an ExplorerTemplate class, where the WebDataTree is defined and adding itemTemplate with a template - the created class. The itemTemplate id should be set to the ExplorerBarItem “TemplateID” property:

protected void WebExplorerBar1_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        ExplorerBarGroup group = new ExplorerBarGroup();

        group.Text = "WebDataTree";

        this.WebExplorerBar1.Groups.Add(group);

        ExplorerBarItem item = new ExplorerBarItem();

        ItemTemplate it = new ItemTemplate();

        it.TemplateID = "templateId";

        item.TemplateId = "templateId";

        ExplorerTemplate et = new ExplorerTemplate();

        it.Template = et;

        WebExplorerBar1.Templates.Add(it);

        group.Items.Add(item);       

    }

    public class ExplorerTemplate : ITemplate

    {

        public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container)

        {

            WebDataTree webDataTree1 = new WebDataTree();

            DataTreeNode rootNode = new DataTreeNode();

            rootNode.Text = "Root";

            webDataTree1.Nodes.Add(rootNode);

            DataTreeNode childNode = new DataTreeNode();

            childNode.Text = "Child Node";

            rootNode.Nodes.Add(childNode);

            webDataTree1.EnableConnectorLines = true;

            container.Controls.Add(webDataTree1);

        }

    }

Regarding your second requirement, currently we do not provide the functionality to add connector lines to the WebExplorerBar items. What I can suggest is logging a new product idea on our ideas site. This will give you the opportunity to communicate directly with our developers and get notifications when new information regarding your issue is available. When logging your idea be sure to be specific and provide as much details as possible.

Below I am attaching a sample, demonstrating the described behavior. Please test it on your side and let me know if you need any further information regarding this matter.

Furthermore after doing some research I found that at this point we do not provide connector lines for WebExplorerBar. What I can suggest is submitting a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com >.

There are many benefits to submitting a product idea: 

-          Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
