Hi Daniel,

When binding to an XmlDataSource, RadMenu creates the menu item hierarchy automatically. Checkout the following documentation that shows how to bind RadMenu with XmlDataSource.
Binding to Hierarchical DataSource Components

Thanks, it works fine.

Is it anyway to manage the authorization from xml or c# code? like some menu items will auto-hide if some login users do not in a Admin role?

thanks

Hello Daniel,

You can set visibility of RadMenuItems in ItemDataBound event after checking the user logged in mode.

CS:

    protected void RadMenu1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuEventArgs e)
    {
        if (userMode)// Check for the user mode
        {
            if (e.Item.Text == "ANATR")
            {
                e.Item.Visible = false;
            }
        }
    }

Thanks for reply.

Could you show how to manage the menuitem visibility by using AccessKey in C# code?

   <Item Text="Administrator Menu" AccessKey="Admin" >

Thanks a lot.

Hello daniel,

You can still use Shinu's suggestion and check the items' AccessKey value in ItemDataBound:

protected void RadMenu1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuEventArgs e)
   {
       if (userMode)// Check for the user mode
       {
           if (e.Item.AccessKey== "Admin")
           {
               e.Item.Visible = true;
           }
       }
   }

Kind regards,

I tried it in RadMenu1_ItemDataBound event, but

e.Item.AccessKey always return empty string, and e.Item.Text returns correct value.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks

Hi,

did not get your reply yet.

Would you help to find out why e.Item.AccessKey always return empty string in RadMenu1_ItemDataBound event?

Thanks

Hi daniel liu,

Actually, e.Item.AccessKey corresponds to the AccessKey property of the RadMenuItem class which is used to assign an access key to the menu item.
In your case you need to do the following:

void RadMenu1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuEventArgs e)
{
    XmlElement sourceData = (e.Item.DataItem as System.Xml.XmlElement);
    if (sourceData.Attributes["AccessKey"] != null && sourceData.Attributes["AccessKey"].Value == "admin")
    {
        //admin AccessKey
    }
}

Hope this helps.

All the best,
