RadMenuItem / Late binding

[Christian]

Dear Support-Team

I want to late bind a constant to the value property of the radmenuitem. If I try it it wouldn't e renderd. Why?

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem

 

 

    runat="server"

 

 

    Text="Text"

 

 

    Value="<%= WebFrontend.Constants.RadMenu.EditAccessory %>"

 

 

    HoveredImageUrl="~/Images/cmdAdd16x16.png"

 

 

    ImageUrl="~/Images/cmdAdd16x16.png">

 

 

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

Thanks in advanced.
Christian

Hello Uwe,

You should change you binding declaration to something like this:

Value="<%# WebFrontend.Constants.RadMenu.EditAccessory %>"

I changed the "=" to "#", since that is the binding syntax.

I hope that helps.

Hello,

unfortunately that hint doesn't help. If I try it in that way the value propertery has a empty string!

Any suggestion?

Kind regards

Hello Uwe Krall,

Could you please make sure that you databind the RadMenu?
In order to apply the databinding expression you need to call RadMenu.DataBind():

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenuTest" runat="server" >
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Text" Value="<%# EditAccessory %>">
        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadMenu>

protected string EditAccessory = "test";
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadMenuTest.DataBind();
}

I hope this helps.
