Menu / Data Bindings


  • The DataBindings collection lets you provide different sets of data bindings to the items on different levels of the menu. You can even bind the menu items on each level of the menu from different tables in a DataSet.
    This example demonstrates how to use databindings to apply declarative mapping of data fields to menu item properties. 
    <telerik:RadMenu runat="server" ID="RadMenu1" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" DataFieldID="id"
	DataFieldParentID="parentID">
	<DataBindings>
		<telerik:RadMenuItemBinding TextField="Text" />
		<telerik:RadMenuItemBinding Depth="1" ImageUrlField="ImageUrl" TextField="Text" />
	</DataBindings>
</telerik:RadMenu>
<asp:XmlDataSource runat="server" ID="XmlDataSource1" DataFile="Menu.xml" XPath="/Menu/MenuItem" />
