MenuAdapter Class
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
The MenuAdapter class adapts the associated Menu control to modify the default markup or behavior for a specific browser. The MenuItem objects in the Menu control are rendered as hyperlinks to accommodate menu navigation. The Menu class maintains state by implementing the IPostBackEventHandler interface so that it can respond to and fire specific events during postback. You can extend the MenuAdapter class to further customize rendering or behavior of the Menu control.
A MenuAdapter modifies the behavior of a Menu control for a specific browser or class of browsers, or acts as a filter on some capability.
The initial request for an adapter causes the .NET Framework to search for a mapped adapter for the control, given the characteristics of the requesting browser. Browser definition files are used by the HttpBrowserCapabilities class to identify the characteristics of the client browser and map the adapter to the browser type.
For a description of the adaptive rendering architecture of ASP.NET and a step-by-step walkthrough that shows how to implement a control adapter and map it to a control, see Authoring ASP.NET Server Control Adapters - in the MSDN Library.
