Can't bind to hierarchical object data

[Ryan]

Hi

I've been following this example for binding to object data.

However I can't specify the <DataTemplate>.

Instead I get the message "Property 'VisualTree' does not support values of type 'DataTemplate'".

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Ryan,

Please take a look at the attached project. I prepared it for you as a simple demonstration of how to bind a RadPanelBar control to a collection of objects. Please let me know if it helps.

Thank you Tihomir.

You should update the help because the xaml is wrong.
