FlexMenu Class

The FlexMenu server control displays a menu on a Web form. Although it looks and acts like a Smart Menu, its architecture is substantially different. Specifically, a FlexMenu creates XML. So, you can modify its behavior using an XSLT file, and change its appearance using a cascading style sheet (.css) file.
