MenuItemBinding.NavigateUrl Property

Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Gets or sets the URL to link to when a menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied is clicked.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

public:
property String^ NavigateUrl {
	String^ get ();
	void set (String^ value);
}
/** @property */
public String get_NavigateUrl ()

/** @property */
public void set_NavigateUrl (String value)

public function get NavigateUrl () : String

public function set NavigateUrl (value : String)

Property Value

The URL to link to when a menu item to which the MenuItemBinding is applied is clicked. 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 NavigateUrl property to specify the URL to bind to the MenuItem.NavigateUrl property of a MenuItem object. This URL is shared with all menu items to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied. When the user clicks the menu item, the user is taken to the specified URL.

NoteNote

You can override the URL for an individual menu item by setting its NavigateUrl property directly.

Instead of using this property to navigate to the same URL in each menu item, you can also bind the NavigateUrl property of a MenuItem object to a field of a data source by setting the NavigateUrlField property. When rendered, the NavigateUrl property of each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied contains the corresponding value from the field.

NoteNote

If the NavigateUrl and NavigateUrlField properties are both set, the NavigateUrlField property takes precedence.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the NavigateUrl property to specify the URL to navigate to when a menu item is clicked. This URL is used 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.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
