DataTable menuDetails = null, parentMenuDetails = null, childMenuDetails = null;
MenuItem parentMenu, childMenu;

menuDetails = LoadDataFromDBorXML();

parentMenuDetails = menuDetails.Select("Filter Condition"); add your condition to filter out the parent menu records.

foreach(DataRow row in parentMenuDetails)
{
parentMenu = new MenuItem();
parentMenu.Text = row["Title"].ToString();
parentMenu.NavigateUrl = row["URL"].ToString();
//Like wise you can set the other parameters

childMenuDetails = menuDetails.Select("Filter Condition"); //Add the condition to filter the child menus for the parent based on some id.

foreach(DataRow row in childMenuDetails)
{
childMenu = new MenuItem();
childMenu = new MenuItem();
childMenu.Text = row["Title"].ToString();
childMenu.NavigateUrl = row["URL"].ToString();
//Like wise you can set the other parameters
parentMenu.ChildItems.Add(childMenu);
}
//Here mainMenu is the name of the menu control placed on the page.
mainMenu.Items.Add(parentMenu);
}

Thanks and Regards
Madhu

in Datatable "DtSameMenuLevel" contains column "Menulevel" am getting Data like ( {1,1} {1,1,1},{1,2},{1,2,1},{1,2,2},{2},{2,1},{2,1,1},{2,2},{2,2,1},{2,2,2}) in Column "Menulevel"


for (int a = 0; a < DtSameMenuLevel.Rows.Count; a++)
{
ToolStripMenuItem MenuLevel=null;
string parentMenuLevel = DtSameMenuLevel.Rows[a]["Menulevel"].ToString();
string[] Menulevels = parentMenuLevel.Split(',');
// (Note: here in parentMenuLevel I will get MenuLevels like {1,1} {1,1,2} ,{1,1,2,1} )

if (((ICollection) Menulevels).Count == 1)
{
ParentMenuLevel = new ToolStripMenuItem(DtSameMenuLevel.Rows[a]["Name"].ToString());
MenuLevel.DisplayStyle = ToolStripItemDisplayStyle.Text;
if (mnuMainMenuLog != null)
mnuMainMenuLog.Items.Add(MenuLevel);
}
if (mnuMainMenuLog != null&& mnuMainMenuLog.Items.Count > 0 && ((ICollection) Menulevels).Count > 1)
{
ToolStripMenuItem MenuLevel1 = new ToolStripMenuItem(DtSameMenuLevel.Rows[a]["Name"].ToString());

MenuLevel1.Tag = DtSameMenuLevel.Rows[a]["Formname"].ToString();
MenuLevel1.Click += MenuClick;
MenuLevel1.DisplayStyle = ToolStripItemDisplayStyle.Text;
MenuLevel.DropDownItems.Add(MenuLevel1);
}
}
