MenuItemBinding.ImageUrl Property
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
/** @property */ public String get_ImageUrl () /** @property */ public void set_ImageUrl (String value)
public function get ImageUrl () : String public function set ImageUrl (value : String)
Property Value
The URL to an image that is displayed next to the text of a menu item to which the MenuItemBinding is applied. The default is an empty string (""), which indicates that this property is not set.When the Menu control is bound to a data source, use the ImageUrl property to specify the URL of a custom image to bind to the MenuItem.ImageUrl property of a MenuItem object. This image is shared with all MenuItem objects to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied. The image is displayed next to a menu item's text and can be in any file format (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, and so on), as long as the client's browser supports that format.
Note |
|---|
| You can override the image for an individual menu item by setting its ImageUrl property directly. |
Instead of using this property to display the same image in each menu item, you can also use the ImageUrlField property to bind the ImageUrl property of a MenuItem object to a field of a data source. When rendered, the ImageUrl property of each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied contains the corresponding value from the field.
Note |
|---|
| If the ImageUrl and ImageUrlField properties are both set, the ImageUrlField property takes precedence. |
The following code example demonstrates how to use the ImageUrl property to specify the URL to an image to display next to the text of the menu items. This image is displayed in each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied. For this example to work correctly, you must copy the sample XML data below to a file named Menu.xml.
The following code is sample site map data for the previous example.
