Hello Erandika,

When you bind your Menu to a .net collection. You can construct the URL and add parameters to it based on the collection that you bind to.

Here is a small example I made by modifying one of our examples.

@model IEnumerable<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.Category>

@(Html.Kendo().Menu()
      .Name("Menu")
      .BindTo(Model, mappings =>
      {
            mappings.For<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.Category>(binding => binding
                    .ItemDataBound((item, category) =>
                    {
                        item.Text = category.CategoryName;
                    })
                    .Children(category => category.Products));
            mappings.For<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.Product>(binding => binding
                    .ItemDataBound((item, product) =>
                    {
                        item.Text = product.ProductName;
                        item.Url = "http://" + product.CompanySite+ "?someParam=foo";
                    }));
      })
)
