Hi guys,

According to this help:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/menu-populate-from-wcf-service.html

I can successfully run OnClientItemPopulatingHandler and there is debug breakpoint that show me GetData is run and the items.count is 4. After that,there is no any radmenu drop-down as expected. Here is the code:

Mark-up

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

<title></title>

<script type="text/javascript">

function OnClientItemPopulatingHandler(sender, e) {

var context = e.get_context();

//using jQuery to get the checked item and pass it to the server

context["ProductSuite"] = $telerik.$("input[name='rblSuites']:checked").val();

}

function OnClientItemPopulatedHandler(sender, e) {

var items = e.get_item().get_items();

for (var i = 0; i < items.get_count(); i++) {

var item = items.getItem(i);

//getting the attribute of the item

var myCustomAttribute = item.get_attributes().getAttribute("MyCustomAttribute");

//do something with the attribute

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<div>

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">

}

For Each radControl As String In radControls

'Optional: set the attribute of the item which will be used

'in the OnClientNodePopulated event

Dim newItem As New RadMenuItemData() With { _

.Text = String.Format("{0} for {1}", radControl, productsSuite), _

.Value = radControl, _

.ImageUrl = "Images/" + radControl + ".gif", _

.Attributes = New Dictionary(Of String, Object)() From {{"MyCustomAttribute", radControl}}

}

items.Add(newItem)

Next

Return items.ToArray()

End Function

End Class

Did I miss sth? If so, please tell me. Thx!

Hi louis,

Actually there's no need for two datasources and also you should know weather an items has subitems in order to set its ExpandMode. Could you please prepare a simple page demonstrating the issue and send it to us? You should open a support ticket and attach it there. Thanks in advance
