Hello Vaibhav,

You can use an XML file, instead of a database, to save the PanelBar structure. The following demo shows how to databind the PanelBar to an xml file.

To save the PanelBar items, back to the xml file. You can the PanelBar.GetXml() method and then use a TextWriter to write the content to your xml file.

I hope that helps.

You use the same code you posted in your first post, where you add it to the PanelBar. You then just create the TextWriter and pass it the content from GetXml. Something like this:

RadPanelBarItem newItem = new RadPanelBarItem(RadTextBox1.Text);
RadPanelBar1.Items.Add(newItem);

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("PanelBarItems.xml");
sw.Write(RadPanelBar1.GetXml());
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();

That should do the trick.

I hope that helps.
