RadMenu in asp:Repeater

[John Hadjioannou]

I'd like to use a RadMenu in a Repeater with the NavigateUrl properties set from fields in the current record, but I don't seem to be able to find a way of making it work - any help much appreciated.

(irrelevant code removed - there are other fields displayed withing the <td>)

 

<table>
     <tr>
        <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="FeatureSource">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <td>
                                <telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server">
                                    <Items>
                                        <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="map" NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("FeatureMapUrl")%>'>
                                        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                                        <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="what goes on" NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("FeatureListUrl")%>'>
                                        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                                        <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="diary" NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("FeatureDiaryUrl")%>'>
                                        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                                    </Items>
                                </telerik:RadMenu>
                 </td>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:Repeater>
    </tr>
 </table>

Hello John Hadjioannou,

Unfortunately this is not supported. The menu items cannot evaluate the databinding expressions as they are child controls. I recommend you subscribe to the ItemDataBound event of your Repeater and populate the NavigateUrl from code.
