Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Selected property to select a specific menu item in a Menu control when the page is first loaded. For this example to work correctly, you must copy the sample site map data below to a file named Web.sitemap.


<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<script runat="server">

  void NavigationMenu_MenuItemDataBound(Object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
  {
    // Get the menu item being bound to data.
    MenuItem item = e.Item;

    // Use the Selected property to select the Home 
    // menu item when the page is first loaded.
    if (item.Text == "Home")
    {
      item.Selected = true;
    }
  }
    
</script>

Remarks

Use the Selected property to specify or determine whether the current menu item is selected.

Note

Although the property can be used to determine whether a menu item is selected, it is more common to use the SelectedItem property.

Only one menu item can be selected at a time in the Menu control.
