Is it possible to assign an access key to a MenuItem in the ASP.NET 2.0 Menu control on a web form?

I don't think so

AccessKey is typically used to specify the keyboard shortcut for
quickly navigating to a Web server control, not to individual items in
the control..

btw, the Menu control as a whole supports the Accesskey property, but I
don't see much use for that :)
