Hi all,

  I have been following this thread since i have the exact same problem.Am new to .NET 2.0

and greatly appreciate any help.

Here's my situation

I have a main menu which is horizontal,and am using the CSS Control adapters(menu)

The Menu picks its items from the Web.Sitemap which is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >

<siteMapNode url="~/Home.aspx" title="Home" description="Home">

<siteMapNode title="VDM" url="~/VDM/Default.aspx" description="Basic Reporting Samples">

The Menu in the MasterPage.aspx.cs looks like this

 <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" Orientation="Horizontal" CssSelectorClass="PrettyMenu" OnMenuItemClick="Menu1_MenuItemClick" Height="28px" Width="518px">

Hi, Am also facing the same problem. Did you solve the problem.  For me MenuItemDataBound is gettimg fired but, absolutely no clue why is it happening, Can anybody help???????????

Hi I had also the same problem, Sitemap-Datasource, no OnClick Event. I did 2 things for a workaround.

1. I have set the URL for all items in the sitemap datasource to "".

As you say, the Menu control is supposed to post back when the NavigateUrl property is not set (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.menuitem.navigateurl.aspx). However, when it is bound to the SitemapDataSource, the Selectable property of an item with no NavigateUrl is set to false, and no postback javascript is generated. This is not to do with the adaptor. If you do a simple test with the normal "unadapted" control, it does exactly the same. 

But, if you bind the MenuItem's Value property to give it a value (see below), it causes all menu items to generate a postback, whether or not they have NavigateUrl set. This means you can pass the Url to the event handler to process and then redirect. I can find no documentation about this anywhere, which looks to me like an oversight.

<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" StaticDisplayLevels="2">

<DataBindings>
<asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="SiteMapNode" ValueField="Title" />
</DataBindings>

</asp:Menu>

I've stumbled across this thread and although my problem isn't exactly the same, I'm experiencing behaviour which seems contrary to the comment above.

I'm using an XML datasource, bound to an asp.net menu control. I'm using the friendly adapters, but as noted above I really don't think that's got anything to do with my problem.

Although it seems as though every post on the web is telling people who's click event will not fire to use the Value property to store information as opposed to the NavigateURL field, as soon as I put anything in the Value property the item_click event doesn't fire.

 This will cause the click event to fire:

<asp:Menu ID="mnuProducts"
runat="server"
DataSourceID="xmlDSProductsList"
CssSelectorClass="MyMenu"
PathSeparator="^"
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="3"
EnableViewState="False"
Orientation="Vertical"
OnMenuItemClick="mnuProducts_MenuItemClick"
OnDataBound="mnuProducts_DataBound">
<DataBindings>
    <asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="productNode" TextField="title"/>
    <asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="productNode" TextField="title"/>
    <asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="productNode" TextField="title"/>
</DataBindings>

</asp:Menu>

This will not:
