                    mnuItem.Add().Text("Documentation");
                    mnuItem.Add().Text("Support Center");
                    mnuItem.Add().Text("Newsgroups");
                    mnuItem.Add().Text("Best Practicies");
                  }

    );

  return mnuBuilder.ToHtmlString();
}

Thanks, for your code.
The method is 98% correct, you simply need to define your own HTMLHelper:

It's a normal class definition which expose static string members

public static class MenuBuilderHelper

    {

         

        public static string RenderMenu(this System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper html)

        {

MenuBuilder mnuBuilder = Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI.HtmlHelperExtension.Telerik(html).Menu();
... etc

in the aspx page remember to add the proper namespace.
