DataNavigateUrlField target

[Kjell]

How set DataNavigateUrlField target?
I load telerik:RadMenu from SqlDataSource and want to bind target field....

Hi Kjell,

I suppose you want to use a databinding to specify the Target for all menu items. Try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadMenu runat="server" ID="RadMenu1">
    <DataBindings>
        <telerik:RadMenuItemBinding Target="myTarget" />
    </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadMenu>

If the the name of the window is stored in the database you can use the following databinding.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadMenu runat="server" ID="RadMenu1">
    <DataBindings>
        <telerik:RadMenuItemBinding TargetField="WindowName" />
    </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadMenu>

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Princy.

Target Field will not work anymore, it's changed in the latest version?

Hi Kjell,

What is the exact version of the Telerik.Web.UI.dll that you use?
We tested the behavior with the latest version (2013.2.611.40) and it works.

Here is a sample code:

<telerik:RadMenu
    runat="server"
    ID="RadMenu1"
    DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1"
    DataFieldID="id"
    DataFieldParentID="parentID" >
    <DataBindings>
        <telerik:RadMenuItemBinding Depth="0" TextField="Text" CssClass="rootItems" Target="_blank" NavigateUrlField="NavigateUrl"/>
        <telerik:RadMenuItemBinding Depth="1" ImageUrlField="ImageUrl" TextField="Text" />
    </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadMenu>

<asp:XmlDataSource runat="server" ID="XmlDataSource1" DataFile="Menu.xml" XPath="/Menu/MenuItem">
</asp:XmlDataSource>

Target works for the root menu, not in  the sub menu......
I have try Target="_blank"
I use latest version (2013.2.611.45)

<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="rpbOmOss" runat="server"
    CookieName="CookieOmOss"
    DataSourceID="SqlOmOssPanel"
    DataFieldID="NodeId"
    DataFieldParentID="ParentNodeId"
    DataTextField="sidnamn"
    DataNavigateUrlField="NavigateUrl"
    EnableEmbeddedSkins="False"
    ExpandMode="SingleExpandedItem"
    OnItemDataBound="RadPanelBar1_ItemDataBound"
    PersistStateInCookie="True"
    Skin="NewTransparent"
    Width="100%" Height="380px">
    <DataBindings>
        <telerik:RadPanelItemBinding TargetField="target" Depth="0" Expanded="True" />
    </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

Hi Kjell,

Please change the DataBindings setting to affect the second level as well:

<DataBindings>
       <telerik:RadPanelItemBinding TargetField="target" Depth="0" Expanded="True" />
       <telerik:RadPanelItemBinding TargetField="target" Depth="1" Expanded="True" />
</DataBindings>

You have a setting only for root level.

I have:

    <DataBindings>
        <telerik:RadPanelItemBinding TargetField="target" Depth="0" Expanded="False" />
        <telerik:RadPanelItemBinding TargetField="target" Depth="1" Expanded="True" />
    </DataBindings>

Hello Kjell,

What is the exact version of the Telerik.Web.UI that you use?
Could you open a support ticket and send us your complete code to examine it locally?
