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?

    
            <UserControl x:Class="ReportDistribution.Client.ReportMgr.WpfApp.UserControls.ReportMenuPanel"

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.
