title: Menu Items not showing in Mahapps.Metro Hamburger menu
body: <p>
  I am trying to add menu items to the hamburger menu provided by Mahapps. The hamburger menu supports ImageItems, IconItems and GlyphItems - the type of item I want to use is IconItems. I have referred to this so post (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47243061/how-to-use-icon-in-mahapps-hamburger-menu-xaml">How to use icon in mahapps hamburger menu XAML</a>) for help but the problem persists.
  I have also followed this Blog post for help (<a href="http://jkarger.de/2017/02/06/mahapps-hamburgermenu/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jkarger.de/2017/02/06/mahapps-hamburgermenu/</a>). 
  </p>
  
  <p>Here is my code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;controls:HamburgerMenu ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MenuItemTemplate}"
                              OptionsItemTemplate="{StaticResource MenuItemTemplate}"
                              Foreground="White" DisplayMode="CompactInline"
                              ContentTemplate="{StaticResource HamburgerMenuContentTemplate}"&gt;
          &lt;controls:HamburgerMenuItemCollection&gt;
  
              &lt;controls:HamburgerMenuIconItem Icon="{iconPacks:PackIconFontAwesome Kind=AddressBook}" Label="Address" x:Name="Item1" &gt;
                  &lt;controls:HamburgerMenuIconItem.Tag&gt;
                      &lt;patient:PatientView/&gt;
                  &lt;/controls:HamburgerMenuIconItem.Tag&gt;
              &lt;/controls:HamburgerMenuIconItem&gt;
  
  
          &lt;/controls:HamburgerMenuItemCollection&gt;
      &lt;/controls:HamburgerMenu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Data templates:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type controls:HamburgerMenuIconItem}" x:Key="MenuItemTemplate" &gt;
          &lt;Grid Height="64"&gt;
              &lt;Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt;
                  &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="64" /&gt;
                  &lt;ColumnDefinition /&gt;
              &lt;/Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt;
  
              &lt;Grid Grid.Column="0"&gt;
                  &lt;Viewbox ToolTip="{Binding Label}" Width="32" Height="32" &gt;
                      &lt;Viewbox.Child&gt;
                          &lt;ContentControl Content="{Binding Icon}"/&gt;
                      &lt;/Viewbox.Child&gt;
                  &lt;/Viewbox&gt;
              &lt;/Grid&gt;

                      &lt;TextBlock x:Name="Header"

  <p>When I run my app I can see the hamburger menu on the left side, it opens and closes when I press the hamburger item but I do not see any items in the menu. I have also tried adding a standard menu item with no icon or image just to see if I can atleast see the label of the menu item - but nothing shows. </p>
  
  <p>
  Any suggestions would be great.</p>
