i try to do Dynamic menu strip in windows form,.

the first parent is permanently fixed in form. the child are generated regarding the database.

i just created a data table with Name, ParentId, image, eventhandler.

in windows form code,..

string MyConString = "server=192.168.1.100;User Id=root;Persist Security Info=True;database=cms";
            MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(MyConString);
            MySqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
            MySqlDataReader Reader;
            command.CommandText = "select * from menu_details";
            connection.Open();
            Reader = command.ExecuteReader();
            while (Reader.Read())
            {
                string a = Convert.ToString(1);
                if (Reader[5].ToString() == a)
                {
                    string j = @"D:\cms-image\";
                    string k = Reader[13].ToString();
                    tsm_File.DropDownItems.Add(Reader[1].ToString(), Image.FromFile(j + k), new EventHandler(newToolStripMenuItem_Click));
                }                
            }
            connection.Close();

Ideally, you should be able to use the same event for all menu items.
Just check the send object and write code based on the sender (in the menu click handler).

ya its working. i was think about only change event handling. but sender option is perfect. thank u very much.

private void newToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string s = Convert.ToString(sender);
if (s == "new")
{
New u = new New();
u.ShowDialog(this);
}
}
