You can seamlessly populate RadMenu from XML.

  • Loading from XML file 
    RadMenu1.LoadContentFile("~/Menu/Data/OfficeMenu.xml");
  • Loading from XML string 
    RadMenu1.LoadXml("<Menu><Group Flow="Horizontal"><Item  Text="File" Key="F" /></Group></Menu>");

You can also retrieve the current RadMenu structure in XML format:

  • C# 
    string xml = RadMenu1.GetXml();
  • VB 
    Dim xml as String = RadMenu1.GetXml()
  • DefaultVB.aspx
  • DefaultVB.aspx.vb
  • styles.css
  • Menu.xml
<%@ Page Language="vb" CodeFile="DefaultVB.aspx.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="Menu.Examples.Programming.XmlDefinition.DefaultVB" %>
