If I use a SplitButton inside of a Menu when creating my xml to load in to the ASP.NET RibbonBar, it does not place the SplitButton buttons in any kind of dropdown. It places them at the same level of Menu. Here is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RibbonBar>
<ApplicationMenu Text="Home">
<ApplicationMenuItem Text="Item1" />
</ApplicationMenu>
<Tab Text="Tab1" Size="Small" ImageUrl="/Images/Image1.png">
<Group Text="Group1">
<Button Text="Button1" Size="Large" ImageUrl="/Images/Image2.png" />
<Menu Text="A Menu" Size="Medium" ImageUrl="/Images/Image3.png">
<MenuItem Text="MenuItem1" Size="Large" ImageUrl="/Images/Image4.png"></MenuItem>
<SplitButton Text="SplitButton" Size="Large" ImageUrl="/Images/Image5.png" ImageUrlLarge="/Images/Image5.png">
<Button Text="SplitButton_Button1" Size="Medium" ImageUrl="/Images/Image6.png" />
</SplitButton>
</Menu>
</Group>
</Tab>
</RibbonBar>

Placing SplitButton inside a Menu is not supported. You can only place MenuItems inside a menu.

Thank you for your reply.
I'm using the Menu tag because I do want a large button that drops down and allows the user to select a MenuItem.
What should I do if I want one of those MenuItems to actually act like a nested Menu so that when hovered over, it ​displays additional MenuItems?
In that case you should nest the MenuItems in the xml. Like so:
<Group Text="Group" EnableLauncher="true"> <Menu Size="Large" Text="Menu"> <MenuItem Text="Parent Item"> <MenuItem Text="Child Item"></MenuItem> </MenuItem> </Menu></Group>Regards,
