  Hello Everybody,
  
  I would like to know if it's possible to bind this type of object to the rad menu:
  
  class Parent {
    string name
    int id
    List<child>
  }
  
  class child {
    string name
    int id
  }
  
  I tried many times without any luck.
  Thanks.

  Hello Pasquale,
  
  The RadMenu cannot bind to an object like that because it will not iterate through your List<child> object. The only structure that it would be able to bind to, with regards to a class, would have to look something like this:
  
  class Item
  {
      string name;
      int id;
      int? parentId;
  }
  
  Here the parent and child objects are the same class, the only difference being that the child has a value set in it's parentId field, where the parent would have this set as null (this is how it determines what are root elements).
  
  I hope that explains how the RadMenu binding works.
