I am using prism for my Project in which i wish to use Ribbon using "RibbonControlsLibrary".

I have a xml file as a resource file, from which the elements are to be loaded in Ribbon.
The hierarchy for items is dependent on ParentID.
If ParentID=0; it should be a RibbonTab. And the other element should be button based on the Parent ID and Item ID.
If Parent ID of element1 matches with the ItemID of element2,then element1 should be a button in the element2's Tab.

when I am trying to do the code, i am able to create Tabs based on the id's. but I am unable to view other elements as buttons.

Can anyone help me out.
Here is the code that i am trying to do.


MenuItems.xml
XML
<MenuItems>
  <MenuItem MenuID="1" ParentID="0" HeaderText="File" ImagePath=""  CommandParameter="0"/>
   <MenuItem MenuID="5" ParentID="0" HeaderText="Search" ImagePath=""  CommandParameter="0"/>
  <MenuItem MenuID="6" ParentID="0" HeaderText="Help" ImagePath="" CommandParameter="0"/>
  <MenuItem MenuID="11" ParentID="1" HeaderText="New" ImagePath="" CommandParameter="1"/>
  <MenuItem MenuID="12" ParentID="1" HeaderText="Open"  ImagePath=""CommandParameter="0"/>
</MenuItems>


MenuBarView.xaml

C#
