                } 
            } 
        } 


    So when i remove parentid parameter DataFieldParentID menu control will work. Otherwise not. This looks to me as bug.

    I found the bug - if this is a bug. Here is the case. I use, lets say standard categories table- Id, ParentId. I wanted to display subcategories in menu, but those subcategories have real root category. Therefore they will not have ParentId null but some number. Menu will work fine, when i place null for categories which should behave as root.

    Hi Vjeran,

    This is the expected behavior of RadMenu hierarchical databinding mechanism - when ParentID is null, the item is root item, otherwise ParentID is set to the id of its parent item. You can find more information about this here.
