Catching event in Menu control when bound with sitemap

Hi Folks,

I am running 2005 c# and I have dynaically built a site map which is
autobound to a menu control, but for whatever reasons, i now cannot catch the
menu_click event. I think this is maybe due to the fact that the sitemap
structure automatically posts it to the new distinct url. I don't think this
is right?

Has anybody else had problems catching the events? and or solutions?

Thanks in advance

in the MenuItemDataBound event set the navigateurl to "" to stop the auto
navigation and you'll get the click event.

Protected Sub Menu2_MenuItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.MenuEventArgs) Handles Menu2.MenuItemDataBound
e.Item.NavigateUrl = ""
End Sub

Good Luck
DWS
