This example demonstrates how to use databindings to apply declarative mapping of data fields to menu item properties.

        <radp:radpanelbar 
            id="RadPanelbar1" 
            runat="server" 
            DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1"
            DataFieldID="id"
            DataFieldParentID="ParentId"
        >

        <DataBindings>
             <radp:RadPanelItemBinding TextField="Text" />
             <radp:RadPanelItemBinding FormatString="Level 1 > {0}" TextField="Text" Depth="1" />
        </DataBindings>

        </radp:radpanelbar>
