RadPanelBar and SPDataSource

[Ron]

I've followed the example at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/panelbar/examples/populatingwithdata/databindings/defaultvb.aspx to add a RadPanelBar and RadPanelItems to a SharePoint 2010 page without any success. The RadPanelBar doesn't show on the page when I give values to DataFieldID & DataFieldParentID. No error given. When I leave those properties blank and set DataTextField="Title" then I get the menu but only the 1st level.

Instead of an SQLDataSource I'm using an SPDataSource. The spdatasource does work however, with an asp:DropDownList control.

Are there issues with RadpanelBar and SPDataSource?

Hi Ron,

The issue that you describe is quite unusual.
I started investigating it and will update you as soon as I make progress on it.
Meanwhile it will be highly appreciated if you provide us more details about your implementation and some sample code.
Thank you.

Hi Kalina,

I've decided that I only need one level of panelItems for my project and the following code accomplishes this.

 <SharePointWebControls:SPDataSource runat="server" DataSourceMode="List" UseInternalName="true" UseServerDataFormat="true" selectcommand="&lt;View&gt;&lt;/View&gt;" id="spdatasource1">
 <SelectParameters>
 <asp:Parameter Name="ListID" DefaultValue="{12E45D04-C92B-478C-997D-AE16A7DBF6CB}"/>
 <asp:Parameter Name="WebUrl" DefaultValue="/rj/"/>
 </SelectParameters></SharePointWebControls:SPDataSource>
 

 <telerik:RadPanelBar runat="server" ID="RadPanelBar1" Skin="CGCC"  EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" DataSourceID="spdatasource1" AppendDataBoundItems="True">
 <DataBindings>
 <telerik:radpanelitembinding TextField="menuItem" NavigateUrlField="Url" Depth="0"/>
 </DataBindings>
 </telerik:RadPanelBar>
