MenuItemCollection.GetEnumerator Method
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
Use the GetEnumerator method to create an enumerator that can be easily iterated through to get each item in the current MenuItemCollection object. To get the item currently pointed to in the enumerator, use the Current property. Use the MoveNext method to move to the next item. If you need to move the enumerator back to the beginning of the collection, use the Reset method.
 Note: |
|---|
| After you create an enumerator or use the Reset method, you must call the MoveNext method. Otherwise, the item represented by the Current property is undefined. |
As an alternative, you can also use the CopyTo method to copy the items in the collection to an array. You can then use the array to access the items in the collection.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetEnumerator method to create an enumerator that contains the submenu items of the Music menu item in a Menu control.
