The examples can use either a "basic" or "enhanced" with a template.

Menu Template Example

Example Summary and Logic

Binding a Menu control to a SiteMapDataSource is an elegant and simple way to create a menu for a web site.

A control adapter can "teach" the Menu how to produce this kind of CSS friendly HTML without sacrificing the power and flexibility of the original Menu control. For example, the root nodes of the menu can be laid out vertically or horizontally.

You can learn more about visualizing hierarchical data by studying the TreeView example, too.

Working Example

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec vehicula aliquam tellus. Sed porta. Proin ac tortor vitae justo dapibus pharetra. Cras adipiscing. Nullam rhoncus aliquam mi. Proin sagittis dui sit amet neque blandit rhoncus. Donec cursus mattis libero. Nunc et nisl. Ut nibh. Mauris orci massa, dignissim ut, adipiscing a, nonummy non, mauris. Aliquam justo. Nullam eu neque. Nulla scelerisque, nisi at cursus commodo, odio est bibendum enim, nec hendrerit turpis tortor sed metus. Vestibulum non massa ut lorem ultrices fringilla. Nam placerat velit vitae sem. Cras luctus eros vitae quam.
