I am looking for an example of how to build a menu from code hind.
I need to be able to use images for the top navigation and set the
orientation horizontal.

Does anyone have an example I can use to get started?

Thanks

Tom

Thanks for this, but I know how to populate the <asp:Menu control...

I was actually interested in getting an idea of how people rate it against
other (3rd-party) solutions which they'd used prior to v2 (when there wasn't
a built-in <asp:Menu> control, and how they were using it.

Still am, in fact... :-)

How are you using this control? Do you prefer it to whatever you used to
use?

I am confused, are you Tom? I did answer the question he asked I believe.

But, to answer yours, I am a strong proponent of Microsoft products. The
reason being is that I'd much rather have something constructed by the source
than a 3rd party. My basis for that is, go take a look at the controls
themselves using Reflector, they are EXTREMELY well constructed with
extensibility in mind.

In addition, third party components (most of them at least) are not as
simple as drag and drop. Rather, they require you to copy scripts, manually
make references to stylesheets and scripts. Microsoft understand that most
people don't want to be bothered with all of that but like the ease of drag
and drop and get to more important things.

Anyway, that's my 30 second 2 cents worth.
