    })
%>

BindTo(System.Collections.IEnumerable,System.Action<Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.NavigationBindingFactory<Kendo.Mvc.UI.ContextMenuItem>>)

Parameters

dataSource System.Collections.IEnumerable

The data source.

factoryAction System.Action<Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.NavigationBindingFactory>

The action which will configure the mappings

Example (ASPX)

<%= Html.Kendo().ContextMenu()
    .Name("ContextMenu")
