asp.net menu gens div's first, then on postback gens table

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

After I migrated my asp.net application to 4.0 I noticed the menu item started "spreading out" after a postback. Upon digging in a little farther, I was able to determine the page load gens the menu using div tags in the source; however, if I do a postback, it starts generating the menu as tables instead of div's.

I am dynamically building the menu, but I do set the RenderingMode = MenuRenderingMode.List.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why it is ignoring this on the postback.

Any ideas?

Have you tried setting it again in your prerender event handler, or checking what the value is at that stage ? Might the code that sets it not be getting called on postback ?

From Steve: Still makes me say hmmm.... All of the other menu properties carry across the postback. Turns out on a postback, I was not resetting the properties for anything. All stayed except for RenderingMode. Moved RenderingMode before the bail on the postback, solved annoying problem
