MenuItemBindingCollection.Remove Method (MenuItemBinding)

 

Removes the specified MenuItemBinding object from the collection.

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

Public Sub Remove (
	binding As MenuItemBinding
)

Parameters

binding
Type: System.Web.UI.WebControls.MenuItemBinding

The MenuItemBinding to remove from the collection.

Use the Remove method to remove the specified menu item binding from the collection. All items that follow that menu item are then moved up to fill in the vacant position. The indexes of the moved items are also updated.

System_CAPS_noteNote

The collection can contain null values, as well as duplicate MenuItemBinding objects.

As an alternative, you can remove a menu item from a specific index in the collection by using the RemoveAt method. You can also remove all menu items from the collection by using the Clear method.

System_CAPS_noteNote

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 following code example demonstrates how to use the Remove method to remove a MenuItemBinding object from the collection. For this example to work correctly, you must copy the sample XML data below to a file named Map.xml.
