in my application, i have manually created a menu control..
since, the menus changes by needs, i wish to load it dynamically from sql table..
help me with simple application which loads a menu control dynamically and i can develop mine using those concepts….
thank u very much
load your menu to a datatable.
then create a repeater in your ascx page (i guess your menur is a user control)
create the template for the repeater.
bind the datatable as the datasource for that repeater.
and there you go. a simple dynamic menu.
dont forget to do a cache on your control. or cache the datatable. so you wont open a connection to the database on every request for a page on your site
here is some examples for using a repeater :
