NavigationItems = new ObservableCollection
{
new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Home",
PageTag = "dashboard",
Icon = SymbolRegular.Home24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
}, new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Sales",
PageTag = "sales",
Icon = SymbolRegular.CurrencyDollarEuro24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.SalesOrderPage)
}, new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Invoice",
PageTag = "invoice",
Icon = SymbolRegular.Receipt24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
}, new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Drivers",
PageTag = "drivers",
Icon = SymbolRegular.Receipt24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
}, new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Routes",
PageTag = "routes",
Icon = SymbolRegular.Receipt24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
}, new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Drivers Progress",
PageTag = "driversprogress",
Icon = SymbolRegular.VehicleTruck24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
}, new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Warehouse",
PageTag = "warehouse",
Icon = SymbolRegular.VehicleTruckCube24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
}
, new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Pick Lists",
PageTag = "picklists",
Icon = SymbolRegular.List24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)

  },

  new NavigationItem()

Hey @thehockeylabmn , if you are using the latest preview, you can create a submenu with code like this:

NavigationItems = new ObservableCollection<object>
{
    new NavigationViewItem()
    {
        Content = "My main menu",
        Icon = new SymbolIcon { Symbol = SymbolRegular.Fluent24 },
        MenuItems = new object[]
        {
            new NavigationViewItem("Sub menu item 1", SymbolRegular.Fluent24, typeof(MySubMenuPage1)),
            new NavigationViewItem("Sub menu item 2", SymbolRegular.Fluent24, typeof(MySubMenuPage2))
        }
    }
};

When I attempt this i get this

` ApplicationTitle = "Cella - Warehouse Managment System V1.0";

NavigationItems = new ObservableCollection
{
new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Home",
PageTag = "dashboard",
Icon = SymbolRegular.Home24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
}, new NavigationItem()
{
Content = "Sales",
PageTag = "sales",
Icon = SymbolRegular.CurrencyDollarEuro24,
PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.SalesOrderPage),

     MenuItems = new object[]
     {
         new NavigationViewItem("Sub menu item 1", SymbolRegular.Fluent24, typeof(MySubMenuPage1)),
         new NavigationViewItem("Sub menu item 2", SymbolRegular.Fluent24, typeof(MySubMenuPage2))
     }
 },    new NavigationItem()
 {
     Content = "Invoice",
     PageTag = "invoice",
     Icon = SymbolRegular.Receipt24,
     PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
 },    new NavigationItem()
 {
     Content = "Drivers",
     PageTag = "drivers",
     Icon = SymbolRegular.Receipt24,
     PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
 },    new NavigationItem()
 {
     Content = "Routes",
     PageTag = "routes",
     Icon = SymbolRegular.Receipt24,
     PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
 },    new NavigationItem()
 {
     Content = "Drivers Progress",
     PageTag = "driversprogress",
     Icon = SymbolRegular.VehicleTruck24,
     PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
 },    new NavigationItem()
 {
     Content = "Warehouse",
     PageTag = "warehouse",
     Icon = SymbolRegular.VehicleTruckCube24,
     PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
 }
 ,    new NavigationItem()
 {
     Content = "Pick Lists",
     PageTag = "picklists",
     Icon = SymbolRegular.List24,
     PageType = typeof(Views.Pages.DashboardPage)
     
 },

 new NavigationItem()
 {
     Content = "Data",
     PageTag = "data",
     Icon = SymbolRegular.DataHistogram24,
