    I have a simple site map file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
    <siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" > 
        <siteMapNode url="" title=""  description=""> 
          <siteMapNode title="First item"> 
            <siteMapNode url="~/Page1.aspx" title="Page 1"  description="" /> 
            <siteMapNode url="~/Page2.aspx" title="Page 2"  description="" /> 
          </siteMapNode> 
          <siteMapNode title="Second item"> 
            <siteMapNode url="~/Page3.aspx" title="Page 3"  description="" /> 
          </siteMapNode> 
        </siteMapNode> 
    </siteMap> 
     


    A simple sitemap data source is added to the page

    A radmenu is binded to that data source...

    <%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.Site" %> 
     
    <%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %> 
     
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
     
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > 
    <head runat="server"> 
        <title></title> 
        <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server"> 
        </asp:ContentPlaceHolder> 
    </head> 
    <body> 
        <form id="form1" runat="server"> 
        <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" Runat="server"> 
        </telerik:RadScriptManager> 
        <telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Width="100%" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"> 
        </telerik:RadMenu> 
        <asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" ShowStartingNode="false" /> 
        <div> 
            <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server"> 
             
            </asp:ContentPlaceHolder> 
        </div> 
        </form> 
    </body> 
    </html> 
     


    now, everytime I go to Page1.aspx the "First Time" and "Page 1" node in my radmenu are highlighted (as expected) because that is the current location returned by the sitemapdatasource1

    How could I avoid this behaivor? I don't want to highlight the current page in the radmenu, I guess this should be something I just don't know how to do...

    Could somebody help me please?

    Hello Cristian,

    You can easily disable this feature by handling RadMenu's DataBound event as follows:

    protected void RadMenu1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           foreach (RadMenuItem item in RadMenu1.GetAllItems())
           {
               item.CssClass = String.Empty;
           }
       }
