I'm not sure if this has been convered in this forum, but I gave it a quick look with no avail.

Essencially for some inherited reasons I've decided to replace a whole bunch of buttons I had in my app for a Menu, which will have an item for each of the buttons I used to have.

The problem is that my whole app is programed in such a manner that each button fired a different function instead of loadig a new place.

I'm wondering if there's anyway to assign each menu item a OnClick event on creation time...

appreciate the help,
Bruno.

The MenuItem class does not contain any server-side events.  Instead you can set the AutoPostBackOnSelect property on the Menu to true, and handle the ItemSelected event.  The originating MenuItem is provided via the MenuItemEventArgs.Item property.

As a quick "shim" to your current code, you'll need to use a switch/if-else statement in the ItemSelected event to identify the sender and redirect to the correct handler.
