Sitemap Binding

The TabStrip enables you to create its items by setting a sitemap.

1. Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC.

2. Create a simple sitemap with the sample.sitemap file name at the root of the project.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <siteMap>
       <siteMapNode title="Home" controller="Home" action="Overview">
       <siteMapNode controller="grid" action="index" title="Grid" />
       <siteMapNode controller="tabstrip" action="index" title="TabStrip" />
       </siteMapNode>
   </siteMap>
   

3. Load the sitemap using SiteMapManager.

   public ActionResult Index()
   {
       if (!SiteMapManager.SiteMaps.ContainsKey("sample"))
       {
           SiteMapManager.SiteMaps.Register<xmlsitemap>("sample", sitmap => sitmap.LoadFrom("~/sample.sitemap"));
       }
       return View();
   }
   

4. Add a TabStrip.

    @(Html.Kendo().TabStrip()
           .Name("tabstrip") // The name of the tabstrip is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the TabStrip.
        .BindTo("sample") // Bind to the sitemap with the name "sample".
     )
