Use partial view for menu item?

[jfkrueger]

I am using the menu with a SiteMap. I have a menu item that takes the user to the shopping cart but I would like it to include the number of items in the cart, IE  [Cart (2)]. Is there any way to achieve this?

Hi Joe,

Basically you can use the overload of the BindTo method which accepts a SiteMap name and configuration method to add your cart details to the end of the text of the item.
e.g.

.BindTo("yourSiteMapName",(Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI.MenuItem item, Telerik.Web.Mvc.SiteMapNode siteMapNode) =>
        {
            if (item.Text.EndsWith("Cart"))
            {
                item.Text += "(Insert your Cart Number Here)";
            }

        })

I hope this helps.

All the best,
