Display PanelBar items from a Data Context

[Annie]

I'm new to Telerik and Kendo UI. We have a commercial license.
Please can you point me to a Kendo sample project for PanelBar that displays data from a Data context (using EF). Is it possible to do inline editing in a Panel Bar like in a Grid (KendoGridMvcCodeFirst sample project)?

Hello Annie,

I am afraid we do not have such demo.

Basically you should use the following configuration to bind your PanelBar to model (just like in the old extensions demo);

e.g.

@( Html.Kendo().PanelBar()

        .Name("PanelBar")        

        .BindTo(Model, mappings =>

        {

               mappings.For<Category>(binding => binding
                    .ItemDataBound((item, category) =>
                    {
                        item.Text = category.CategoryName;
                    })
                    .Children(category => category.Products));
               mappings.For<Product>(binding => binding
                    .ItemDataBound((item, product) =>
                    {
                        item.Text = product.ProductName;
                    }));

        })

)

where Model is a collection property from your DB context ( in the example above the Category table from the NorthWind).
