Remarks

A menu item can be in one of two modes: selection mode or navigation mode. By default, a menu item is in selection mode. To put a menu item into navigation mode, set the menu item's NavigateUrl property to a value other than an empty string ("").

When a menu item is in navigation mode, all selection events are disabled for that menu item. Clicking the menu item in navigation mode takes the user to the specified URL. You can optionally set the Target property to specify the window or frame in which to display the linked content.
