In this video i demonstrate how to add menu to our website so you can move from one web page to another. I aligned the content of the navigation area to the top.

(Please open the article to see the flash file or player.)

Go to the toolbox, drag the Menu control to the navigation area of the page. Click the small arrow sign on the menu control and choose a datasource, but because we dont have a data source we cannot do anything.

To add a datasource, a sitemap on this occasion, we right click on our project and select Add New Item. On the window that pops up, you select SiteMap. The sitemap will be the datasource for our menu control. Leave the default name and add it.

You add the url, title, and description to the sitemap for each page. Also remember that anytime you create a new page you need to add the page to the sitemap if you want it to be displayed on the menu.

Now we go back to the menu control and select a datasource, we select the sitemap option and click ok. You set your staticdisplaylevel to 2 to display your menu on the page.

Watch the video and leave comments.
