    I'm binding a radMenu to database data. I'm setting my DataNavigateUrlField to "MenuLink" field. for the most part, the MenuLink field simply contains page names, i.e. Default.aspx, page1.aspx, etc. I have one  that I wish to link to an external site, i.e. http://www.google.com, but when i set this item's MenuLink field to http://www.google.com, on binding of the menu it throws an error:

    '~/http://www.google.com' is not a valid virtual path.

    obviously it's automatically putting the ~ symbol. how do i get it to not do this?

    Thanks.

    Sigh. Nevermind. I finally realized we had code in that was specifically adding "~/" to the links.

    Hi Paul J,

    I tried to reproduce the issue but to no avail. You can see the DataNavigateUrlField property working on this demo.

    Could you please send me the full code as well as the database so I can inspect it and help you?

    Kind regards,

    Thanks for the reply, but as I previously posted, I have resolved my issue. Since it was my own post, it would not let me mark it as the answer.
