        { name: "Parent1", id: 1 },
        { name: "Parent2", id: 2 }
    ]
});

$("#child").kendoDropDownList({
    cascadeFrom: "parent",
    cascadeFromField: "parentId",
    dataTextField: "name",
    dataValueField: "id",
    dataSource: [
        { name: "Child1", id: 1, parentId: 1 },

        { name: "Child3", id: 3, parentId: 1 },
