DataBinding and Templated Controls

[Gene]

I have a PanelBar that has many controls embedded into the templates.  I'm having trouble getting to the databound events of the templated controls.

As an example, I have the following Panel Bar item with a treeview that has an onNodeDataBoundEvent

	<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">
	<Items>
	<telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="OUTPUT COLUMNS">
	<Items>
	<telerik:RadPanelItem Value="OutputColumns" runat="server">
	<ItemTemplate>
	<telerik:RadTreeView ID="OutputColumnsRadTreeView" runat="server" CheckBoxes="True"
	Height="280px" TriStateCheckBoxes="True" CheckChildNodes="True" Skin="Vista" OnNodeDataBound="OutputColumnsRadTreeView_NodeDataBound">
	</telerik:RadTreeView>
	</ItemTemplate>
	</telerik:RadPanelItem>
	</Items>
	</telerik:RadPanelItem>
	</Items>
	</telerik:RadPanelBar>

However, when I bind:

	protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
	RadTreeView OutputColumnsRadTreeView = (RadTreeView)QueryPanelBar.FindItemByValue("OutputColumns").FindControl("OutputColumnsRadTreeView")
	OutputColumnsRadTreeView.LoadContentFile("~/App_Data/QueryOutputColumns.xml");
	OutputColumnsRadTreeView.DataBind();
	}

The event is never fired:

	protected void SortColumnsRadTreeView_NodeDataBound(object sender, RadTreeNodeEventArgs e)
	{
	//do something here
	}

thanks in advance.

I figured out it wasn't the Templated control that was the problem.  It was that I'm loading xml instead of setting the datasource.
