    Hi,

    I'm setting a menu using the "mega drop-down" sample. The menu and sitemap are working fine but I'd like to dynamically update a part of the menu items.

    I'm binding some content from the siteMap on the left of the menuItem and, on the right, I want to dynamicall add some text:
     
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Home" PostBack="false" CssClass="menuOff" ClickedCssClass="menuOn"  SelectedCssClass="menuOn" FocusedCssClass="menuOn" ExpandedCssClass="menuOn">  
                        <Items> 
                            <telerik:RadMenuItem CssClass="">  
                                    <ItemTemplate> 
                                    <div class="menuContent">  
                                            <div class="menuLeftPart">  
                                            <div id="menuSiteMap">  
                                                 <telerik:RadSiteMap runat="server" ID="RadSiteMapHome" Skin=""  DataSourceID="RadSiteMapData0" Width="640px" CssClass="leSiteMap" EnableTheming="false">  
                                                    <DefaultLevelSettings> 
                                                        <NodeTemplate> 
                                                            <a class="siteMapLink" href='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "url") %>'>  
                                                                <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "title") %> 
                                                            </a>            
                                                        </NodeTemplate> 
                                                    </DefaultLevelSettings>    
                                                </telerik:RadSiteMap> 
                                            </div> 
                                        </div> 
                                        <div class="menuRightPart">[Insert HTML code here dynamically]</div>                                     
                                    </div> 
                                </ItemTemplate> 
                            </telerik:RadMenuItem> 
                        </Items> 
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem> 
    I've tried using a "Label" but cannot access it from my code-behind (vb.net). Is it protected because it is inside the RadMenuItem ?

    Thank you for your help.
