Hi, Assuming that you are using ASP.NET 2.0 framework, there's a nice Menu control provided in ASP.NET 2.0 which you can easily use for the same. Given below is the strategy and the code for the same. Table Design - CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Menu_Master] ( [Menu_ID] [int] NOT NULL , [Menu_Name] [varchar] (200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [Menu_Desc] [varchar] (300) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL , [Parent] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL , [Sequence] [int] NOT NULL , [OnClickAction] [varchar] (500) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL , [Roles] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Menu_Master] WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Menu_Master] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [Menu_ID] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO __________________________________________________________________________ Menu populating Method - private void PopulateMenu(SqlDataReader dtMenuData, ref Menu popdownMenu) { Hashtable RootNodeReferrer = new Hashtable( ); SqlDataReader MenuData; int Counter = 0; int Level = 0; int Id = 0; MenuItem PopDownMnuItem; MenuData = dtMenuData; try { while (MenuData.Read( )) { Id = Convert.ToInt32(MenuData["Menu_ID"]); PopDownMnuItem = new MenuItem( ); if (Level == Convert.ToInt32(MenuData["Parent"])) { PopDownMnuItem.Text = MenuData["Menu_Name"].ToString( ); PopDownMnuItem.NavigateUrl = MenuData["OnClickAction"].ToString( ); PopDownMnuItem.Value = Counter.ToString( ); PopDownMnuItem.ToolTip = MenuData["Menu_Desc"].ToString( ); if (MenuData["OnClickAction"].ToString( ).Trim( ) != "") { PopDownMnuItem.Selectable = true; } else { PopDownMnuItem.Selectable = false; } if (Counter != 0) { MenuItem SepItem = new MenuItem("", "", "~\\Images\\VerMenuSep.jpg", ""); popdownMenu.Items.Add(SepItem); } popdownMenu.Items.Add(PopDownMnuItem); RootNodeReferrer.Add(Id,
