The server-side events are being triggered using
the client-side events and our free AJAX Page control.

Please visit the Server-Side Events section for more information
about how to download and use the AJAX Page control.

Enabling the Node Select event

    oTree.EventList = "OnNodeSelect";
    

Sending the data to the server-side event

function ob_OnNodeSelect(id)
{   
	// add client side code here
	//alert("OnNodeSelect on " + id);
	if(ob_ev("OnNodeSelect"))
	{	    
		if(typeof ob_post == "object")
		{
			// if a person was selected - not a department
			if(id.indexOf("oCont_") != -1)
			{	            
				// add the parameter needed on server-side
				// id will be a server-side argument for the OnNodeSelect method
				// we use only the id of the contact from the database 
				// (not the whole id of the selected node)
				ob_post.AddParam("id", id.replace("oCont_", ""));	
				
				ob_post.post(null, "OnNodeSelect", displayContactInfo);
			}
		}
		else
		{
			alert("Please add obout_Postback ASP.NET control to 
				your page to use the server-side events");
		}
	}
}
   

Implementing the server-side method

public void OnNodeSelect(int id)
{
	// return the server response.
	// ...
}
