position

The position of the specified MenuItem object in the menu hierarchy.

The RenderItem method is called from the RenderContents method to retrieve the styles and spacing attributes from the MenuItem object and apply them to a newly created hyperlink element. The menu hierarchy is traversed in the RenderContents method and will call the RenderItem method to render each item. Each item is rendered as a hyperlink and inherits the properties and styles of the specified MenuItem control. The hyperlink rendered to the page is one of the following:

  • A postback event to open or select the item.

  • A link to navigate to the target specified in the NavigateUrl property of the MenuItem control.
