           <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root Panel Item" Expanded="true" Selected="true">
               <Items>
                   <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Value="templateHolder">
                   </telerik:RadPanelItem>
               </Items>
           </telerik:RadPanelItem>
       </Items>
       <CollapseAnimation Duration="100" Type="None" />
