Remarks

When the Menu control is bound to a data source, use the TextField property to specify the name of the field to bind to the Text property of a MenuItem object. When rendered, the Text property of each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied contains the corresponding value from the field. This text is displayed in the menu items.

Note

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

If the data source contains multiple tables or attributes, you must first establish the binding criteria by setting the Depth property, the DataMember property, or both.

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.

Instead of using this property to bind the Text property of a MenuItem object to a field, you can also bind it to a static value by setting the MenuItemBinding.Text property. This allows you to display the same text in each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied.

Note

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