IndexOf[^] returns a number. You are checking whether the string contains that number. I think you want to check whether the string contains the substring.

Here is my adjustments but it still not working

Dim strFilePath As String = Me.Context.Request.FilePath
If (strFilePath.Contains("/Groups.aspx")) = True Then
Menu2.Items(0).Enabled = True
ElseIf (strFilePath.Contains("/Reports.aspx")) = True Then
Menu2.Items(2).Enabled = True
Menu2.Items(0).Enabled = False
Else
Menu2.Items(0).Enabled = False
End If

What does "not working" mean?

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

menu items not getting enabled

So what happens when you step through the code?

it will go to the correct if to enable the items however Item is not enabled on UI

Add in some code to set the backgroundcolor of the control you're manipulating; that way you can check easily whether or not you're talking to the correct control, and whether all other code works. If it does, then there's a chance that the "enabled" property is being reset or overwritten by another part of the code.

One thing to be aware of. You're doing a case sensitive comparison of a string there. What happens if the case doesn't match what you're testing for (hint, you won't trigger any of your enable conditions)?

put it in the PreRender funtion protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) { Menu mymenu = (Menu)Form.FindControl("Menu1"); MenuItem mi = mymenu.FindItem("Programs"); mi.Selected = true; }
