This demo shows how to manually update/insert items to the database. The new values are extracted from the current item using the ExtractValues method.

Note that, when inserting a child item to a parent data item, the foreign key values (the ReportsTo field in our case, specified by the ParentDataKeyNames array in RadTreeList) are extracted into the Hashtable with ExtractValues. We need to check if the foreign key is present in the Hashtable and add it to the insert parameters. When inserting a root item, however, foreign keys are not populated and thus, DbNull should be explicitly added as a foregn key.
