Building an ASP.NET Menu Server Control contains the following eight sections:
- Introduction
This section introduces the fundamental concepts of a menu,
the functionality of a Web-based menu interface, and some sample screens of the
skmMenu control. - Dynamically Displaying Submenus
This section discusses how you can use HTML, cascading style
sheets, and client-side JavaScript to make menus appear and disappear when a
user needs this behavior. - Examining the Plumbing of the skmMenu Control
This section describes the classes that are used to represent
a menu, a menu item, and a collection of menu items. The underlying object
model to explicitly add or access menu items from a menu is an XML
file. - Using skmMenu in an ASP.NET Web Page
This section explains how to add the skmMenu.dll assembly
file to an ASP.NET Web project in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. You can add the skmMenu.dll assembly to the
Toolbox, and then you can drag a skmMenu control to the project in Design view.
The skmMenu.dll assembly is bound to an XML file that contains the information
for the menu hierarchy. - Customizing the Appearance of skmMenu
This section describes the following four properties of the skmMenu class, and how you can use these properties to customize the
appearance of a skmMenu control:
- MenuStyle
- UnselectedMenuItemStyle
- SelectedMenuItemStyle
- Layout
- Responding to the MenuItemClick Event
This section describes the behavior of the Click event of each menu item. The Click event either directs you to a URL or raises a PostBack event. - Current Known Limitations
This section explains that the development of the skmMenu control is still in progress. - Conclusion
This section summarizes the guide. This section also mentions
that the development of the skmMenu control is open-source.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
