# Items Binding

The Menu enables you to declare its items and the properties of each item within the helper declaration.

The following example demonstrates how to configure the Menu items using the `Items()` configuration.

```Razor HtmlHelper
@(Html.Kendo().Menu()
    .Name("menu") // The name of the Menu is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of Menu's HTML element.
    .Items(items =>
    {
        items.Add().Text("Home").Action("Index", "Home");
        items.Add().Text("About").Action("About", "Home");
    })
)
```
