Is it possible to load the names for the JumpList from a XML file, and then when there are clicked, have them navigate to separate pages. For example, if you clicked on Item 1 it would navigate to the Item1.xaml page. If you clicked on Item2 it would navigate to Item2.xaml. If so, how could I possibly do this.
I find the documentation for the JumpList rather poor with few examples :/.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for writing and for your question.

The scenario that you would like to implement is easily achievable, however, it includes writing some code to parse the XML file and create a source to bind the RadJumpList to it. You should also handle the ItemTap event of RadJumpList and use the NavigationService of the phone framework to navigate to the corresponding page.

Here is a Getting Started article regarding RadJumpList in our online help:

http://www.telerik.com/help/windows-phone/radjumplist-getting-started.html

It guides you through the process of putting the control on the page and binding it to a source.

I hope this helps.

I'm not sure how to accomplish binding the RadJumpList control to my XML file. I'm also not sure to set up the code for ItemTap. Still new to C#.

Hello Justin,

RadJumpList does not directly support binding to a XML file since this is out of the scope of the functionality that the control covers. The idea is to use the XML API of the .NET framework to parse the XML file, build a collection out of it and provide these collections as a source for RadJumpList.

Take a look at our Demos project where all of our examples are shipped with source code available. There, we have this scenario covered with the first look example of RadDataBoundListBox (note that RadJumpList is based on this control). We have a XML file defining a set of movies. It looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<ArrayOfMovieViewModel >
  <MovieViewModel>
    <Duration>N/A</Duration>
    <Year>2009</Year>
    <Title>For Liberty: Ron Paul</Title>
    <Rating>5</Rating>
    <AudienceRating>NR</AudienceRating>
    <Genre>Documentary</Genre>
    <Cast>Ron Paul, Thomas Woods</Cast>
    <Director>Corey Kealiher</Director>
    <Base64Image>/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEBBgE
  </MovieViewModel>
...
...
...
</ArrayOfMovieViewModel>

We also have a class definition that maps all movie properties from the XML files to Csharp properties. Than, we use the XmlReader and XmlDeserializer classes defined by the .NET Framework to read the XML file and create .NET objects out of it which we than can use to popuplate RadJumpList:

List<MovieViewModel> allMovies = new List<MovieViewModel>(100);
// add the movies twice to have 100 items
int ranking = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
    using (XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create("Data/NetFlixTop50.xml"))
    {
        XmlSerializer deserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<MovieViewModel>));
        List<MovieViewModel> movies = deserializer.Deserialize(xmlReader) as List<MovieViewModel>;
 
        foreach (MovieViewModel movie in movies)
        {
            movie.Ranking = ranking++;
        }
        allMovies.AddRange(movies);
    }
 
    this.radJumpList.ItemsSource = allMovies;
}

You can take a look at the source code of the example for further details. You can find the example code in the ExampleCS_WP solution, in the Examples_WP\DataBoundListBox\ folder. You can find the XML related code in the Examples_WP\Data\MovieViewModel.cs file.

I hope this helps.

I have no clue why the RadJumpList control is not working for me. I've converted all the code from the example to fit my application, and I don't know where to declare the radjumplist1.ItemSource property at.

Hello Justin,

In the last ticket that you have sent us I have noticed that you've managed to bind RadJumpList to a source. I have handled that ticket and will consider this one closed

Let us know if you need further assistance or have any questions.

Kind regards,
