How to: Generate NavBarControl Items from a Collection and Automatically Group Them Depending on a Field Value

In this example, it's demonstrated how to use the GroupDescription property to automatically group items generated from a collection. To accomplish this task, it's necessary to set GroupDescription to a property name by which items should be grouped.
