Web API Service
To access a Web API service from the client, use the createStore method from the DevExtreme.AspNet.Data extension. This extension also allows you to process data for DevExtreme components on the server. The server-side implementation is available under the TreeListTasksController.cs tab in the ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core versions of this demo.
To notify the TreeList that data is processed on the server, set the remoteOperations property to true.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
If you have technical questions, please create a support ticket in the DevExpress Support Center.
