Adding Items at the third level of and existing Menu

[Peter Ivanov]

Hi,

I'm struggling to find a way to add items to the second level of an existing RadMenu coded in ASP using my VB. I know I can create the whole menu in VB but i really don't want to go through all that trouble if there is a better way.

My ASP looks like this:

 

<telerik:RadMenu runat="server" ID="radmenu1" Skin="Sunset" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" Width="895px">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="HOME" NavigateUrl="~/" />
        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="LINK2" NavigateUrl="~/Link1.aspx" />
        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="LINK4">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="LINK4.1" NavigateUrl="~/Link4.1" />
                <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="LINK4.2" NavigateUrl="~/Link4.2" />
                <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="LINK4.3"/>
                <%--THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO ADD ITEMS--%>
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="LINK5" Visible="true" NavigateUrl="~/Link5.aspx" />
    </Items>
</telerik:RadMenu>

And my VB:

Dim sConStr As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionString("MyConnectionString").ConnectionString
Dim sSQL As String = ""
Dim cm As SqlCommand

sSQL = "SELECT Text, ID, FROM Table "

cm = New SqlCommand(sSQL, New SqlConnection(sConStr))
cm.Connection.Open()
dr = cm.ExecuteReader

Dim oRadMenuItem As New RadMenuItem

 Do While dr.Read

    oRadMenuItem = New RadMenuItem
    oRadMenuItem.Text = dr("Name")
    oRadMenuItem.NavigateUrl = "TARGETLINK?id=" & dr("ID")
    radmenu1.Items(4).Items(4).Items.Add(oRadMenuItem)

 Loop

cm.Connection.Close()

 Clearly this is not the way to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Peter,

I suggest you bind the whole treeview using  ID to ParentID relationship to establish a hierarchy as it's explained here.
