  MenuItem CreateMenuItem(String text, String url, String toolTip)
  {
    
    // Create a new MenuItem object.
    MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem();
    
    // Set the properties of the MenuItem object using
    // the specified parameters.

Remarks

Use this constructor to create and initialize a new instance of the Menu class. To dynamically add a Menu control to a page, create a new Menu object, set its properties, and then add it to the Controls collection of a container control, such as PlaceHolder.
