Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

Public Sub Remove (

)

Parameters

value
Type: System.Web.UI.WebControls.MenuItem

The MenuItem object to remove.

value is null.

Use the Remove method to remove the specified menu item 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 MenuItemCollection object can contain null values, as well as duplicate MenuItem 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.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Remove method to programmatically remove a MenuItem object from a MenuItemCollection object.
