Description

How to bind a collection of items to the pane header.

Solution

You can achieve the desired result by using the PaneHeaderTemplate property of the control and using a RelativeSource binding to point to your header collection.

C#

      <telerik:RadNavigationView.PaneHeaderTemplate>
          <DataTemplate>
              <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                  <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
                  <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding DataContext.HeaderItems, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=telerik:RadNavigationView}}" />
              </StackPanel>
          </DataTemplate>
      </telerik:RadNavigationView.PaneHeaderTemplate>
