Binding the data from a Model..problem with the childrens

[Michele]

Hello,
I'm currently trying to develop a menu binding the data from the datasource.... I've folowed your example at http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/helpers/menu/overview

but I'm not able to load the children

@(Html.Kendo().Menu().Name("menu").BindTo(Model, mappings =>
    {
        mappings.For<IDEA20.DO.Common.MenuItem>(binding =>
            {
                binding.ItemDataBound((item, category) => //define mapping between menu item properties and the model properties
                            {
                                item.Text = category.Text;

                            }).Children(category => category.SubMenu);
            });

    })
     )

My MenuItem is of type

public class MenuItem
{
    public MenuItem()
    {
        SubMenu = new List<MenuItem>();
    }

    public string Text { get; set; }
    public string Controller { get; set; }
    public string Action { get; set; }
    public bool Selected { get; set; }

    public List<MenuItem> SubMenu { get; private set; }
}

What am I doing wrong? It only shows the first, it puts the arrow for opening but won't open...

Thanks
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

I prepared a test application, which shows how to define the child menu items.
As a side note, I will suggest you continue our discussion in the support thread opened on the same matter.
