I need to create a list of menu items server side and then bind to the kendo menu, but I am unable to create items with child items.

View:

@model IEnumerable<MenuItem>

@(Html.Kendo().Menu()

.Name("Menu")

.BindTo(Model))

I was unable to find a way to make childOne and childTwo children of the parent menuItem and added to the allMenuItems list

The allMenuItems is what I am passing to the View

var parent = new MenuItem() {Text = "Parent"};

var childOne = new MenuItem() { Text = "Child 1", ActionName = "Foo", ControllerName="Bar" };

var childTwo = new MenuItem() { Text = "Child 2", ActionName = "Foo2", ControllerName = "Bar" };

var allMenuItems = new List<MenuItem>();

I need some sample code showing how to build this list server side.

Thank you.
