LoadXml custom attributes

[Antony]

Hi Everyone,

I am dynamically generating an XML string containing the structure of my RadPanelBar and then using LoadXML function.

Is there any way to add additional attributes into the XML string and then access them from Server side/ Client side code?

I have seen a few examples of using custom attributes when binding to an XML datasource but none of these appear to apply to using the LoadXML function.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Antony

Hi Antony,

Here's a sample code snippet that shows the needed approach.

ASPX:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
    </telerik:RadScriptManager>
    <telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelbar1" runat="server" OnItemClick="RadPanelbar1_ItemClick"
        PersistStateInCookie="true">
    </telerik:RadPanelBar>
    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label" Width="100%"></asp:Label>
    </form>

Code-behind:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using Telerik.Web.UI;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            RadPanelbar1.LoadContentFile("XMLFile.xml");
        }
    }

    protected void RadPanelbar1_ItemClick(object sender, RadPanelBarEventArgs e)
    {
        Label1.Text = e.Item.Attributes["DocNamespace"];
    }
}

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<PanelBar xmlns="">
    <Item Text="2009 - 2010" Expanded="True">
        <Item Text="30/07/2009(M) 04" Value="4d03af79-e891-4e9b-ad70-2e8ae1b439db" DocNamespace="http://www.cintra.co.uk/EmployeeDocuments/Payslip/v1" />

    </Item>
    <Item Text="2004 - 2005">
        <Item Text="31/03/2005(M) 12" Value="f5e11de7-bb90-4809-a5ba-4cae2717ef8d" DocNamespace="http://www.cintra.co.uk/EmployeeDocuments/Payslip/v1" />
