This demo illustrates how the MVC Menu can be bound to a Model passed to a View from the Controller. The Bind method is used to bind the Menu to the Model. Note that the MVC Menu can only be bound to hierarchal data sources, and as such, a Model object passed to the Bind method must support the IHierarchicalEnumerable interface.

The DevExpress MVC Menu Extension ships with following data binding methods:

• Bind(object dataObject);
• BindToSiteMap(string fileName);
• BindToSiteMap(string fileName, bool showStartingNode);
• BindToXML(string fileName);
• BindToXML(string fileName, string xPath);
