    Is it faster to populate a RadMenu from an XML file or programmatically?

    Hello Jacky,

    I don't think there would be any noticeable difference. However, for very large menu systems, I would opt to bind the menu to an xml file.

    When binding to xml, does RadMenu just programmatically create the items behind the scene?  How will that be faster than writing my own code to create each item programmatically?

    Hello Jacky Chau,

    While using an XML file may introduce a small overhead from opening and reading the file, the difference is usually negligible and we recommend using an XML file when possible because it is easier to maintain.

    I hope this answers your question.
