Gets or sets the name of the field from the data source to bind to the NavigateUrl 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=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")] public: property String^ NavigateUrlField { String^ get (); void set (String^ value); }
Property Value
Type: System::StringThe name of the field from the data source to bind to the NavigateUrl 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 NavigateUrlField property to specify the name of the field to bind to the NavigateUrl property of a MenuItem object. When rendered, the NavigateUrl property of each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied contains the corresponding value from the field. The user is taken to the corresponding URL when the menu item is clicked.
Note: |
|---|
You can override the URL for an individual menu item by setting its NavigateUrl 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 NavigateUrl property of a MenuItem object to a field, you can also bind it to a static value by setting the MenuItemBinding::NavigateUrl property. This allows you to navigate to the same URL from each menu item to which the MenuItemBinding object is applied.
Note: |
|---|
If the NavigateUrl and NavigateUrlField properties are both set, the NavigateUrlField property takes precedence. |
The following code example demonstrates how to use the NavigateUrlField property to specify the name of the field to bind to the NavigateUrl 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.
