Remarks

When the Menu control is bound to a data source, use the Text property to specify the text to bind to the MenuItem.Text property of a MenuItem object. This text is displayed in a menu item and is shared with all menu items to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied.

Note

You can override the text for an individual menu item by setting its Text property directly.

Instead of using this property to display the same text in each menu item, you can also bind the Text property of a MenuItem object to a field of a data source by setting the TextField property. When rendered, the Text property of each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied contains the corresponding value from the field.

Note

If the Text and TextField properties are both set, the TextField property takes precedence.

You cannot create empty nodes in a Menu control by setting the Text or TextField properties to the empty string (""). Setting these properties to the empty string has the same effect as not setting the properties. In that case, the Menu control creates a default binding using the DataSource property. For more information, see ASP.NET Data Access Content Map.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
