MenuItemBindingCollection Class
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
The MenuItemBindingCollection class is used to store and manage a collection of MenuItemBinding objects in the Menu control. The Menu control uses the MenuItemBindingCollection class as the data type for its DataBindings property. The DataBindings property is used to store any menu item bindings defined for the Menu control.

| The order in which MenuItemBinding objects appear in the collection has no effect on how those objects are applied to the menu items in a Menu control. |
The MenuItemBindingCollection class supports several ways to access the items in the collection:
-
Use the Item indexer to directly retrieve the MenuItemBinding object at a specific zero-based index.
-
Use the GetEnumerator method to create an enumerator that can be used to iterate through the collection.
-
Use the CopyTo method to copy the contents of the collection into an array.
You can programmatically manage a MenuItemBindingCollection object by adding and removing MenuItemBinding objects. To add menu items to the collection, use the Add or the Insert method. To remove nodes from the collection, use the Remove, the RemoveAt, or the Clear method.
The MenuItemBindingCollection class contains properties and methods that allow you to retrieve information about the collection itself. To find out how many items are in the collection, use the Count property. If you want to determine whether the collection contains a certain MenuItemBinding object, use the Contains method. To get the index of a MenuItemBinding object in the collection, use the IndexOf method.
