Question

I have a header control which is included in every page.
I create dynamic menu in Header control based on user rights and modules provided.

Menu is created in following string format.

Code Behind

`

string dynamicMenu =
<ul>
    <li>
        <a href='/User/HomePage' runat='server' id='HOME'>Home</a>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href='/User/Files' runat='server' id='MyFiles'>My Files</a>
    </li>
</ul>;
divMenu.InnerHtml = dynamicMenu;

`

ASPX

<div id="divMenu" runat="server"></div>

Problem is that, some times menu disappears and rendered menu div has only <ul/> tag and l
looks like

<div id="divMenu" runat="server"> <ul/> </div>

How can I resolve this issue.

Answer 1

replace <div id="divMenu" runat="server"></div> with panel in your aspx

in code behind

string dynamicMenu = "<ul><li><a href='/User/HomePage' runat='server' id='HOME'>Home</a></li><li><a href='/User/Files' runat='server' id='MyFiles'>My Files</a></li></ul>";
Panel1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(dynamicMenu));
