Hi,

I think it might be because you are setting the PageLink property too late on the Page_Load event, it should be on the Page_Init event.

Take a look at the example and associated paragraphs about this issue on the following page:

http://sdk.episerver.com/library/cms5/html/P_EPiServer_Web_WebControls_PageControlBase_PageLink.htm

All the best...

Hi,

Strange?

I see what you mean. But according to the "Getting Started" demo from EPi World ("Developing a submenu EPiServer:PageTree") it's said to pu the PageLink property in the OnLoad event?

Thanks!

public partial class LeftMenu : EPiServer.UserControlBase { //Variable private MenuList _menulist; //Property public MenuList Menulist { get { return _menulist; } set { _menulist = value; } } private void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { SubMenu.PageLink = EPiServer.Core.PageReference.StartPage; } private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad(e); SubMenu.DataBind(); } private void InitializeComponent(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load); this.Init += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Init); } }

Still not working :-)

Hi,

 I have coded the following example and it seems to work - you should be able to extend it / shorten it in a way which will work for your solution.  Noting that I have worked with the PageTree in the .ascx file, due to the ease with which the underlying templates can be coded.  I have then attached the PageLink value in the code behind .ascx.cs file. (It seemed to work with both the Page_Load event and Page_Init event).

Hope it helps...
