Radmenu ItemDataBound event not firing

[Mike]

Hello Telerik team,

I'm trying to disable the menu items if the user is not in certain role's i don't know why the ItemDataBound is not firing.
Please see the code below.
## ASPX file........
  <telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" Text="MenuOne" runat="server" AccessKey="P" DataNavigateUrlField="Url" EnableShadows="true" Skin="default" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" CssClass="dropDown" OnItemDataBound="RadMenu1_ItemDataBound" OnItemClick="RadMenu1_ItemClick" ></telerik:RadMenu>

## CS file..............
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                string xmlFileName = "~/xml/MainMenu.xml";
                RadMenu1.LoadContentFile(xmlFileName);
            }               
        }

        protected void RadMenu1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!Roles.IsUserInRole("Admin"))
            {
                XmlElement element = (XmlElement)e.Item.DataItem;
                if (element.Attributes["text"].Value == "Contact History")
                    e.Item.Enabled = false;
            }          
        }     
        protected void RadMenu1_ItemClick(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuEventArgs e)
        {   
            Response.Redirect(e.Item.Attributes["Url"].ToString());
        }

Hi Hem,

ItemDataBound event is fired when the menu is bound to a datasource as explained here. You can use XmlDataSource to load the items from the xml and fire the event. This approach is demonstrated here.

All the best,
