[Solved] SelectedIndex problem

[quentinjs]

I started with the binding example where there was a selected index, got an exception raised.  Since I wanted a simple example I tried it with a different example provided and it failed here as well.  Perhaps I am missing a setting, but if I used the SelectedIndex( XX )  it will raise an exception of:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

which makes sense as the menu isn't even populated when this is executed so it would be a valid error. 

    Html.Telerik().Menu()
     .Name("Menu")
     .SelectedIndex(1)
     .Orientation(MenuOrientation.Vertical)
     .Items(items =>
     {
         items.Add().Text("Item 1");
         items.Add().Text("Item 2");
     })
   .Render();

Hi Quentin,

You should place SelectedIndex after Items method. This was fixed already and it is available as an internal build, but you should be client to download it. Here is the correct definition of the component:

Html.Telerik().Menu()
     .Name("Menu")
     .Orientation(MenuOrientation.Vertical)
     .Items(items =>
     {
         items.Add().Text("Item 1");
         items.Add().Text("Item 2");
     })
   .SelectedIndex(1)
   .Render();
