Menu control

Dear all,

I want to get the names of some folders in my drive and populate my menu control with the names of those folders.

Getting the folder names is not the issue, but how can i populate my menu with the names of getted foldernames.

I tried this:

DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("~\\MyFolders\\"));
DirectoryInfo[] dirs = dirInfo.GetDirectories();
Menu1.DataSource = dirs;
Menu1.DataBind();

But im getting the error:

HierarchicalDataBoundControl only accepts data sources that implement IHierarchicalDataSource or IHierarchicalEnumerable.

How can i achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

Ive got a Menu Control linked to Web.sitemap but would like a step by step example of how

to make it look and behave like the one I found here:-

http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/menu.aspx 

Is there somewhere I can download an example of this or one similar?

We are using wss 3.0 sp2

I know that sharepoint sites are not best when viewed with firefox, safari, chrome etc  but is there a fix for this? Is it do with 'z' index setting or something? Can this be fixed through javascript?  

Please share your views/solution.

thanks.

Hi

Using VS2010, I created an ASP.NET 4.0 web application and simply added a couple of menu items below the "Home" menu item in the master page that's created by the project wizard. I made no other changes - no code, no stylesheet changes.

If I run the app locally then everything is fine. I suspect because the local IIS is responsive enough for the problem not to occur.

If I deploy the app to a web host (discountasp.net) then I see the menu render vertically for less than a second before it renders correctly. If I refresh the page a few times then usually I can see the menu vertical flash but sometimes I can't, so there's some sort of timing consideration.

I'm using IE8. The problem doesn't seem to occur with either Firefox 3 or Chrome.

Have others seen this problem?

Any suggestions for a fix?

I can supply the zipped up project if anyone wants it.

Thanks

I feel like a complete idiot!! :)

Thanks for your help in advance!!! 

I am having a problem with rendering a menu control inside a server control. I am getting an error in the RenderContents override method when I try to render the Menu Control. The error I am getting is an Object Reference error. The code is below...

[ToolboxData("<{0}:Login runat=server></{0}:Login>")]
    public class Login : CompositeControl
    {
        #region Members

        Label tst;
        Menu loginMenu;
        MenuItem mainLoginItem;
        MenuItem loginItem;
        MenuItem usernameItem;
        MenuItem passwordItem;
        SubMenuStyle subMnuStyleControl;
        SubMenuStyle subMnuStyleMenu;

        bool isLoggedIn = false;

        #endregion

        #region Properties

        public bool IsLoggedIn
        {
            get { return isLoggedIn; }

            set { isLoggedIn = value; }
        }

        #endregion

        #region Overridden Events

        protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {
            AddAttributesToRender(writer);

            loginMenu.RenderControl(writer);

        }

        protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnInit(e);
            CreateChildControls();
            ControlSetup();

            string cssUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(this.Ge

Hey I'm building a new site in VB.NET 4.0 and I just noticed that the ASP Menu component breaks W3C validation. Normally I'm not concerned with the whole deal but this project requires 100% validation and I'm building this from the ground up. I barely have anything in place but I have everything necessary. The second I add the ASP Menu and bind it the validator errors out with this:

Line 36, Column 214: there is no attribute "valign" 
.sg74gxVJW81&t=634083384129375000" alt="Expand Home" valign="middle" /></td>

It's a normal site using a master page. UTF-8 with XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I have a valid CSS and Sitemap. I would go back to treeview but the list is going to get ridiculously big and that's where I need this menu to replace it entirely. Strange part is that I never noticed this problem before. Is it an ongoing problem or did I find a new bug? I would like to see a fix for this if possible.

Hello:

Menu control is not compatibile with IE8.  Is there a fix for this problem?  When you open the application in IE8 it only shows menus in two lines and you cannot click on it.  And then it displays a white screen.  I think that I implemented a meta tag at the time setting compatibility to IE7 but it does not seem to work.

CAn you help?  Thank you.

 Hi all,
coud someone please tell me why the following code bombs with a NullReference exception.

        Dim m As New Menu
        Dim mi As New MenuItem("First")
        Dim sb As New StringBuilder
        Dim html As String
        m.Items.Add(mi)
        Using sw As StringWriter = New StringWriter(sb)
            Using tw As HtmlTextWriter = New HtmlTextWriter(sw)
                m.RenderControl(tw)
            End Using
        End Using
        html = sb.ToString

I just want to output the html for the menu control to a string, if I remove the line that adds the new menu item or I change the control to a calander control instead of a menu control the it works fine.
