    Hi Suresh,

    Set the image using ImageUrl property of root items in order to show images for root items.

    aspx:
     
    <telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" ClickToOpen="true"> 
        <Items> 
            <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" ImageUrl="../Images/Image1.gif">                         
            </telerik:RadMenuItem> 
            <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" ImageUrl="../Images/Image2.gif"> 
                <Items> 
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Child1"> 
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem> 
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Child2"> 
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem> 
                </Items> 
            </telerik:RadMenuItem>                     
        </Items> 
    </telerik:RadMenu> 
    And set the ClickToOpen property to True which indicates whether root items should open on mouse click.

    Hello,

    Try out the following code snippet for setting ImageUrl for root items in ItemDataBound event.

    cs:
     
    protected void RadMenu1_ItemDataBound(object sender, RadMenuEventArgs e) 
    {         
        RadMenuItem item = (RadMenuItem)e.Item; 
        if (item.Level == 0) 
        { 
            DataRowView rowView = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem; 
            String str = rowView["imageurl"].ToString(); 
            item.ImageUrl = str; 
            item.Text = ""; 
        }  
    } 
    [I guess you are saving the imageurl in db]



    Thanks,
    Princy

    Hi Suresh Kannan,

    RadMenu allows creating a custom RadMenu skin. I hope the following links would be of help in refering skin files for RadMenu.

    Understanding the Skin CSS File
    CSS Skin File Selectors

    Thanks, Nice links..


    added the root item as IMAGE with custom skin..fine. but the Root Item of Image is not align properly..there is some blank spaces are there in the root item, because of clear the root item when itemdatabound. if i move the mouse on the blank also show the submenus as well as image move. Left side blank i.e control text(empty) want to remove..

    Plz find the attached (see the left side blank)..

    any idea...
