How to use the ASPxNavBar with an Access or SQL datasource

created 15 years ago

Hi Guys,
Recently I wanted to build a FAQ page, I have done this before in other ways but this time I wanted to use the ASPxNavBar to display the FAQ page. I quickly found that I could not bind the ASPxNavBar to an Access or SQL datasource at design time and after searching Google and DevExpress I found many questions regarding this (Q201051 shows how to bind an ASPxMenu) but no definitive answers showing how to do it.
Thought I would submit this simple project of how to dynamically fill an ASPxNavBar with an Access or SQL datasource at runtime in the hope that it might help someone else out.
I also have a 7 minute video on YouTube showing how to do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tljrJYl3L4Q

    Hello John,
    Thank you for the interesting example. I found it quite nice :)
    I decided to create the corresponding Code Central example and will post the link to it here soon.
    Thanks,
