Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the MenuEventArgs object passed to the event handler for the MenuItemDataBound event to modify the properties of a menu item before it is displayed in a Menu control. The ImageUrl property of the Home menu item is set to display an image in that menu item only. For this example to work correctly, you must copy the sample site map data below to a file named Web.sitemap.

  void MenuItemDataBound_NavigationMenu(Object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
  {
    // Display an image for the Home menu item only by
    // setting its ImageUrl property.
    if (e.Item.Text == "Home")
    {
      // Use an @-quoted string to bypass the escape sequence
      // processing.
      e.Item.ImageUrl = @"Images\Home.jpg";
    }
  }

Remarks

The MenuEventArgs class is used to store the event data passed to an event handler for the events in the following table.

Event	Description
MenuItemClick	Occurs when a menu item is clicked. This event is commonly used to synchronize a Menu control with another control on the page.
MenuItemDataBound	Occurs when a menu item is bound to data. This event is commonly used to modify a menu item before it is rendered in a Menu control.

Depending on the event raised, you can access the menu item clicked by the user or the menu item being bound to data by using the Item property.
