Ajax Data Binding
The PanelBar provides support for remote data binding by using a DataSource
configuration object.
@(Html.Kendo().PanelBar()
.Name("panelbar")
.DataTextField("Name")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Read(read => read
.Action("Read_PanelBarData", "Home")
)
)

new HierarchicalViewModel() { ID = 3, ParentID = 1, HasChildren = false, Name = "Item" },
new HierarchicalViewModel() { ID = 4, ParentID = 2, HasChildren = false, Name = "Item" },
new HierarchicalViewModel() { ID = 5, ParentID = 2, HasChildren = false, Name = "Item" }
};
