Hi,
I'm developing a prism silverlight application, using the view-model approach, and I'm trying to use the RadPanelBar and bind it's content to a region manager so that we show one region in each radpanelitem. My main question is : is it possible? If it is can you give some guidelines on how to do the region binding.
Thanks

Hi João,
Yes, it is possible to use the PanelBar control in a Prism-based application. The only thing that may be specific to the PanelBar is that you may want to provide some custom styling for the second-level items that will wrap the content that will be injected in your regions. Other than that, it should be as simple as this:
<telerikNavigation:RadPanelBar>
<telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="Inbox">
<ContentControl prism:RegionManager.RegionName="InboxRegion" />
</telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem>
</telerikNavigation:RadPanelBar>
You could also go for an alternative approach and bind the PanelBar's ItemsSource to a collection of ContentControls or ItemsControls depending on your requirements. With the alternative you will avoid hard coding the PanelBar items in XAML - this will be useful if the number of regions you want to define is determined at runtime.
All the best,

Does anyone have a proper example of this? Been at this a while and can't quite get things right.

Hi Mark,
Since you didn't describe your exact scenario, I am attaching a generic sample that demonstrates how to use the PanelBar control in a Prism application. Please take a look at it and let me know if I can help with something else.
