Horizontal Menu made in asp.net 4 running on 3.5 server
Hi all,
Are there any differences in the menu code from 3.5 to 4? I have been working through the book and at the same time developing my own site. The menu I created works fine when debugged from my own machine but not when I ftp to a 3.5 site I have.
Any thoughts?
Regards
Lee

Hi Lee,
Yes, it's quite different. In .NET 3.5, a table based structure was used. In .NET 4, the menu is built with <ul> and <li> elements. You can tell .NET 4 to render the menu the way it did in 3.5, but not the other way around.
You can render as 3.5 in 4.0 by modifying the <pages /> element in web.config as follows:
Code:
<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID"/>
Hope this helps,
Imar |

Hi Imar,
Many thanks for your reply. I already have this piece of code in the web.config file. This is what I have:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--

<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.0">
</compilation>
<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID"/></system.web>
</configuration>
Regards

<div id="Navigation">
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" CssClass="MainMenu" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"
Orientation="Horizontal" StaticSubMenuIndent=""
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="2" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False">
<DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#FF9900" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="16px"
Height="30px" CssClass="NavAlign" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle Height="30px" CssClass="NavAlign" />
<DynamicMenuStyle Height="60px" HorizontalPadding="5px" />
<DynamicSelectedStyle Height="30px" />

Actually....
I have the start Options under the WebSite menu set to Target Framework 3.5
If I don't have this set like this, then the website when uploaded shows an error.
Is this complicating things and should I start again?

No, if your final server only has .NET 3.5, you *need* this setting in order to make the site run on .NET 3.5
With regard to the menu: check its final HTML and see if you can find a difference between the one that works and the one that doesn't.
Cheers,

Just realized this may not be related to 3.5 versus 4, but about IE8 versus ASP.NET. Maybe this helps: IE8 and the Menu ?
