hi telerik
yes i am try it but same problem

Hi LPW,

Since you have the <Group> tag in the XML file you need to use LoadContentFile() method instead of XMLDataSource:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadMenu1.LoadContentFile("~/Menu2.xml");
}

If you still need to use the XMLDataSource, you need to remove the <Group> tags from the xml file.

I hope this helps.

you need to set an xpath for the datasource

<asp:XmlDataSource

   ID="XmlDataSource1"
runat="server"
DataFile="~/App_Data/XmlDataSourceExample.xml" XPath="/Customers/Customer">
</asp:XmlDataSource>  

or programatically:

XmlDataSource mysource = new XmlDataSource();

d.XPath =  ("/Customers/Customer");
