LoadContentFile Error

[Craig]

Hi all,

I am trying to load a content file into the menu using  LoadContentFile but keep getting an error. I downloaded the latest exe on the 19/032008 with the TelerikWeb.UI.dll version beeing 2007.3.1425.35.

I have succesfully got this working with the old controls so I know the method works but just cant get it to work with the new Prometheus menu control.

My code is as follows:

Menu Control:
<telerik:RadMenu ID="rmTopMenu" runat="server" Skin="Outlook"></telerik:RadMenu>

Code behind:
rmTopMenu.LoadContentFile("~/Auth/Common/Controls/Menus/Contents/DefaultMenu.xml");

XML Structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Menu>
    <Group Flow="Horizontal">
        <Item Text="Item 1"></Item>
        <Item Text="Item 2"></Item>
        <Item Text="Item 3"></Item>
   </Group>
</Menu>


Error Message:
System.InvalidOperationException: <Group xmlns=''> was not expected.

Any ideas on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Craig

I think I found the problem in that my file was referencing the another xml file which had a group within an item and that groups item visible property was set to false.

Dont know if that is not allowed in Prometheus, worked in the old controls as used it to hide menu items from the drop down but used it to build a breadcrumb by looping through the menu items.

Cheers
