VB.NET Examples?

[Nick]

Hi,

I'm trying to follow the Using Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC in your project article in the documentation and had no problems until I got to point 6 where the panel bar is added to the page.

My experience of C# is extremely limited and so I'm struggling to translate the example to VB.NET.  The example is as follows:

<% Html.Telerik().PanelBar()
       .Name("PanelBar")
       .Items(items =>
       {
           items.Add().Text("Item 1")
                      .Content(() =>
                      {%>
                            <p>Content</p>
                       <% });
           items.Add().Text("Item 2")
                .Items(subItems =>
                      {
                          subItems.Add().Text("Sub Item 1");
                          subItems.Add().Text("Sub Item 2");
                          subItems.Add().Text("Sub Item 3");
                      });
       })
       .Render();
%>

Can someone post a working VB.NET version of this example at all?

Thanks in advance,
Nick

No good I'm afraid:

CONVERSION ERROR: Code could not be converted. Details:

-- line 2 col 13: invalid StructMemberDecl

Please check for any errors in the original code and try again.

Hi Nick,

Please review the attached test project to this message. Unfortunately, because VB.NET does not support Lambda expressions as C# does, you can use the full potential of the fluent interface.

Hi Georgi,

Many thanks for the reply, that works great.

I have an MVC project at the moment that uses your radMenu for ASP.NET AJAX and I am quite keen to replace it with the MVC one.  Using your example I have managed to create a proof of concept that looks like it will work quite nicely.

With regards the restrictions in VB.NET when it comes to lambdas, have you guys played with the new capabilities of VB.NET 10 yet?

Cheers,
Nick

Hello Nick,

Here is a test project in VS2010. Everything works fine with the miltiline support fot lambda expression in VB 10.

Hi,

I too am trying to get the MVC controls working in a VB environment but came across an issue with the following code for binding the menu control to the model:

<%= Html.Telerik().Menu()
        .Name("Menu")
        .BindTo(Model, mappings =>
        {
            mappings.For(binding => binding
                    .ItemDataBound((item, category) =>
                    {
                        item.Text = category.CategoryName;
                    })
                    .Children(category => category.Products));
            mappings.For(binding => binding
                    .ItemDataBound((item, product) =>
                    {
                        item.Text = product.ProductName;
                    }));
        })
%>

The issue is that I can't seem to get the 'mappings.For(...' statement to work.  Can you please show a VB example of binding to the model for the menu control.

Hello Mark,

Please review the attached test project, which shows how to use Telerik Extentions for ASP.NET MVC with VB9.

The example didn't include any code for catching a click on a sub item. How do you do that?

I figured out how to call a specific view by adding .Action("ActionName","ControllerName") to call a View without parameters but how do i add parametes to the action; ie Controller/Action/Parameter.
