[RajpootRohan]

Hi to all, I am trying to add the menu items dynamically. But I am stucked in problem. I am unable to find the index of the menu items where menu text is "something".

public void populate\_menu()
{
    DataSet ds = GetMenuData();
    foreach(DataRow drow in ds.Tables\["CATEGORY"\].Rows)
    {
        MenuItem masteritem = new MenuItem((string)drow\["category\_name"\]);
        name = masteritem.Text;
        get\_id();
        par\_id = Convert.ToInt32 (ViewState\["p\_id"\]);
        if (par\_id == 0)
        {
            Menu1.Items.Add(masteritem);
        }
        else
        {
            //now find the category whose category\_id is par\_id
            get\_category\_name();
            ca\_name = ViewState\["cname"\].ToString();
            
            //get the menu index where category name is "ca\_name"
            

            //then under that category, add this sub category
            Menu1.Items\[0\].ChildItems.Add(masteritem);
        }
    }
}

please assist me..

I guess you need to maintain a value path and work with Menu.FindItem()[^] method. Other way is to recursively search the menu items and sub items until you get the required item.
