I have a RadMenu with a sub RadMenuComboItem that I would like to DataBind to.  Under the childen collection//RadDropDownList Element - Datasource is greyed out in the editor and if I try the following the code, it runs but nothing is populated in the Combobox. 

this.radMenuComboTheme.ComboBoxElement.BindingContext = this.BindingContext;
this.radMenuComboTheme.ComboBoxElement.DataMember = "Theme_Name";
this.radMenuComboTheme.ComboBoxElement.ValueMember = "Theme_Value";
this.radMenuComboTheme.ComboBoxElement.DataSource = applicationThemes;

According to the documentation :

The RadMenuComboItem allows you to put a drop-down list on a menu. To add items to the combo box work with the Items collection of the RadMenuComboItem.ComboBoxElement property. Because the ComboBoxElement returns a RadDropDownListElement, you can also use data binding to put items in the drop-down list from any data source.

What am I missing?

So above there is a type o' should say this.radMenuComboTheme.ComboBoxElement.DisplayMember not DataMember.  Even fixing this the drop down is still blank.  I have tried every thing I can think of and just don't get why it is not populating.

I figured out the issue - when I added the dataset to the form it did not create a Table Adapter - Once I got that configured data now binds and loads the drop down.

Hello Scott,

I am glad to hear that everything is now OK with this case. Could you please provide me with a link where the DataMember and DisplayMemeber are misplaced, so I can check it and log it if needed.
