When the control is bound to a data source where each data item contains multiple fields (such as an XML element with several attributes), if no menu item bindings are defined, a menu item displays the value returned by the ToString() method of the data item by default. In the case of an XML element, the menu item displays the element name, which shows the underlying structure of the menu, but is not very useful otherwise. You can bind the properties of a menu item to a specific field by specifying menu item bindings. A object defines the relationship between each data item and the menu item it is binding to.

When the control is bound to a control, menu item bindings have no effect. Binding is performed automatically using the site map provider.

The control stores its objects in the property and applies the bindings to the data source to create a one-to-one relationship between the menu hierarchy and the data source hierarchy. For each data item in the data source, the control attempts to match the data item to a object to create the corresponding object.

When creating a object, you must specify the criteria for binding. The criteria indicate when a data item should be bound to a menu item. You can specify the , the , or both.

A menu item depth specifies the menu level that gets bound. For example, the following declaration binds the Name and ID fields of the data source to the and properties, respectively, of all nodes with a depth of 0:

`<asp:MenuItemBinding Depth="0" TextField="Name" ValueField="ID">`

A data member specifies the type of the data item in the underlying data source, but can represent different information depending on the data source. Each data item in a hierarchical data source (represented by an object) exposes a property, which specifies the type of the data item. For example, the data member for an XML element specifies the name of the element. When a data source contains multiple data item types, the data member specifies which data item type to use. The following declaration binds the <Book> elements of an control to all the menu items in the menu, regardless of the location in the hierarchy:

`<asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="Book" TextField="Title" ValueField= "ISBN">`

Sometimes you might need to create a menu item binding that specifies both a depth and a data member. This is often used when the data source contains items at different levels that have the same data member value. For example, you can have <Item> elements that appear at different levels within an XML file. The following declarations show how to specify menu item bindings that apply to identical data members at different menu depths:

<asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="Item" Depth="1" TextField="Title">

<asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="Item" Depth="2" TextField="ISBN">

If a menu item binding is defined without a depth and a data member, the menu item binding is applied to all menu items within the menu. This is commonly used when all data items have the same properties and should be displayed identically, regardless of the menu depth.

After the binding criteria are established, you can then bind a property of a object that can be bound to a value. You can bind to a field of a data item or to a static value. When bound to a static value, all objects to which the object is applied share the same value. Properties bound to fields contain the values of the corresponding field from the data source.

You can selectively override a bound property in a object by setting the corresponding property directly.

The following table lists the properties of the class that allow you to bind a property of the object to a field of a data item.

The field to bind to the property of a object.

The field to bind to the property of a object.

The field to bind to the property of a object.

If conflicting objects are defined, the control applies the menu item bindings in the following order of precedence:

The object that defines and matches both a depth and a data member.

The object that defines and matches the data member only.

The object that defines and matches the depth only.

The object that defines neither the depth nor the data member. (This type of menu item binding is applied to all menu items in the menu.)

The object that does not have a match in the data source. In this case, the value returned by the ToString() method of the data item is then bound to the and properties of the menu items to which the object is applied.

The class also allows you to format the text displayed in a menu item by setting the property.

Defines the relationship between a data item and the menu item it is binding to in a control. This class cannot be inherited.

  When the data source contains multiple elements or tables, use the property to specify the element or table to bind to a menu item. A data member specifies the type of the data item in the underlying data source, but can represent different information depending on the data source. Each data item in a hierarchical data source (represented by a object) exposes a property, which specifies the type of the data item.

  System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(true)
  System.Boolean To be added.

  Use the property to set the property of a object. This setting is shared with all menu items to which the object is applied. When this property is set to false, the menu item is disabled and no pop-out image that indicates child items is displayed. Setting this property to false for a menu item essentially makes the menu item the end of that node, where no further levels are shown off of that node.

  Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the menu item to which the object is applied is enabled, allowing the item to display a pop-out image and any child menu items.

- Property
  System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue("")
  System.ComponentModel.Localizable(true)
  System.String To be added.

  The property is used to provide a custom format for a menu item's text. The format string can consist of a literal string, a placeholder, or both. The literal string is displayed verbatim, while the placeholder is replaced with the value that is bound to the menu item's text.

  The placeholder is split into two parts, separated by a colon, in the form {:}. For example, {0:F2} displays a fixed-point number with two decimal places.

  The placeholder string must be enclosed in braces to indicate that it is a placeholder and not a literal string. Any text outside the braces is displayed as literal text.

  Keeping to the standard formatting string syntax, the value before the colon ( in the general example) specifies the parameter index in a zero-based list of parameters. Because only one value can be displayed in each menu item, the parameter index can be set only to 0.

  The character after the colon ( in the general example) specifies the display format for the value. The following table lists the common formats.

  Format character

  Description

  C

  Displays numeric values in currency format.

  D

  Displays numeric values in decimal format.

  E

  Displays numeric values in scientific (exponential) format.

  F

  Displays numeric values in fixed format.

  G

  Displays numeric values in general format.

  N

  Displays numeric values in number format.

  X

  Displays numeric values in hexadecimal format.

  The format characters are not case-sensitive, except for X, which displays the hexadecimal characters in the case specified.

  The value after the format character ( in the general example) specifies the number of significant digits or decimal places to display.

  For more information on formatting strings, see Formatting Overview.

  The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.

  When the control is bound to a data source, use the property to specify the text to bind to the property of a object. This ToolTip is shared with all menu items to which the object is applied. When the user positions the mouse pointer over a menu item, the specified text is displayed.

  You can override the ToolTip for an individual menu item by setting its property directly.

  Instead of using this property to specify the same ToolTip for each menu item, you can also bind the property of a object to a field of a data source by setting the property. When rendered, the property of each menu item to which the object is applied contains the corresponding value from the field.

  If the and properties are both set, the property takes precedence.

  The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.
