protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
string[] names = File.ReadAllLines(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/customers.txt"), Encoding.Unicode);
ASPxTitleIndex1.DataSource = names;
ASPxTitleIndex1.DataBind();
}
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Note
For ASPxRichEdit only:
The DataSource property specifies a data source for the Mail Merge feature. The property accepts an object that implements the IList interface. If a bound data source contains multiple data tables, use the DataMember property to specify a data member.
