MenuItemBinding::ImageUrlField Property
Gets or sets the name of the field from the data source to bind to the ImageUrl property of a MenuItem object to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
[TypeConverterAttribute(L"System.Web.UI.Design.DataSourceViewSchemaConverter, System.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")] public: property String^ ImageUrlField { String^ get (); void set (String^ value); }
Property Value
Type: System::StringThe name of the field to bind to the ImageUrl of a MenuItem 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 ImageUrlField property to specify the name of the field to bind to the ImageUrl property of a MenuItem object. When rendered, the ImageUrl property of each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied contains the corresponding value from the field. 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. |
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.
Instead of using this property to bind the ImageUrl property of a MenuItem object to a field, you can also bind it to a static value by setting the MenuItemBinding::ImageUrl property. This allows you to display the same image in each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied.
Note |
|---|
If the ImageUrl and ImageUrlField properties are both set, the ImageUrlField property takes precedence. |
The following code example demonstrates how to use the ImageUrlField property to specify the name of the field to bind to the ImageUrl property of a menu item. 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.
