I have a RadMenu which is successfully binding to my IQueryable collection.  However, I have several items that I'd like to ALWAYS appear on the menu, which are not in the datasource.  What is the best way to accomplish this?  Specifically, some of the items will require custom ItemTemplates.  I tried an approach like this without success.  When I would call DataBind(), it seems the control would ignore the hard coded items I'd added and only apply the databound items.

     <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server"
             <Items><telerik:RadMenuItem>        
                        <ItemTemplate>
                             <ContentTemplate>
                                   My code here....
                                        </ContentTemplate>
                                 <
ItemTemplate>
                   
</Items>
      </telerik:RadMenuItem>

Wouldn't you know it, I spend a couple hours researching before I made this post, and immediately after making the post I found the answer. I need to set AppendDataBoundItems="true".

THE NEW QUESTION IS: How can I make my declared items appear AFTER the databound items, instead of before them?

Hello Matthew,

If you want to have your databound items appear after the static ones, there is no way to do that declaratively. You'll have to do in the code-behind, by first making a call to the DataBind method of the RadMenu and then adding the static menu items.

I hope that helps.
