Hi All,

We are doing mikgration from DNN to EPiserver while doing migration main navigation is coming but subnav and submenu not loading. what is the steps to follow?

Mainnav code:

 @Html.MenuList(SiteDefinition.Current.StartPage,
                                @<li class="@(item.Selected ? "active" : null)">
                                    @Html.PageLink(item.Page, null, new { @class = string.Join(" ", item.Page.GetThemeCssClassNames()) })
                                </li>)

I imagine this helper is only built for a single level, you'd have to create your own navigation code if you want to go multiple levels.

Here's some example recursive naviagation code for when you want to build a nested menu. You can then pass this through to razor script and write your markup round it

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web.UI;
using EPiServer;
using EPiServer.Core;
using EPiServer.Filters;

namespace Appius.EPI.Core.Helpers

    /// <summary>

    /// </summary>
    public class NavigationHelper
    {
        private readonly IContentLoader _ContentLoader;

        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="NavigationHelper"/> class.
        /// </summary>
        public NavigationHelper(IContentLoader ContentLoader)
        {
            _ContentLoader = ContentLoader;
        }

        /// <summary>
