Hello Susi,

Your code would look something like this:

radMenu1.DataTextField = "RoleName";
radMenu1.DataNavigateUrlField = "NavigateUrl";
radMenu1.DataFieldID = "RoleID";
radMenu1.DataFieldParentID = "ParentRoleID";
radMenu1.DataSource = GetRoles();
radMenu1.DataBind();

I hope that helps.

Dear Kevin,
Thank you very much for your reply..Menu binding perfectly..But when i have bind above mentioned methodology all roles are listed in same line or category.how to resolve this..

There i have table like this

RoleID        RoleName       ParentRoleID    NavigateURL

  1             Intact                NULL                NULL
  2            User                      1                    NULL
  3            Project                  1                    NULL
  4            UserView              2                    UserView.aspx
  5            ProjectView          3                    ProjectView.aspx

Here I need bind menu based parentRoleID that means which parentRoleID is null that is want to placed in top level and another roles
are bind below based on heirarchy and also which have navigateURL that only navigate page to another page others no need and also
i have generic list method based on this table.

but when i have bind above mentioned methodology all roles are listed in same line or category.how to implement this..

Thanks in Advance...!

Hi Susi,

Please take a look at the following demo of the RadMenu control where you can find a working example of binding a RadMenu control to a list - Hierarchical Data Binding
