Hi,

You can try to set the selected menu item in the Menu controlso Programmatically , like below:

1.Solution one:

MenuItem mi = this.Menu1.FindItem("Home");
mi.Selected = true;

2.Solution two:

this.Menu1.Items[0].Selected = true;

Hope it helps.

Find the menu item and set its selected property to True:

mnuLanguage.Items(indexToSelect).Selected = True

I think this removes any other selection, but not sure.

Programmatically set the selected menu item in the Menu control

Is it possible to set the selected menu item in a Menu control programmatically? If so, how? It is possible set the selected menu item in design mode (see code below), but I can't find a way to do the same programmatically.

<asp:Menu id="mnuLanguage" Orientation="Horizontal" CssClass="tabs" OnMenuItemClick="mnuLanguage_MenuItemClick" Runat="server">
    <Items>
        <asp:MenuItem Text="Tab 1" Value="0" Selected="true" />
        <asp:MenuItem Text="Tab 2" Value="1" />
        <asp:MenuItem Text="Tab 3" Value="2" />
    </Items>
</asp:Menu>
