The ASP.NET Sitemap function is built for this and works well in many cases. If you get to the place where you want your Menu to look different than your Sitemap, here are some workarounds .

Answer 8

Effective access is a core feature from a user's perspective. A general suggestive approach is dictionary search , which is well suited for large and nested menu structures. The user moves on clicks or unique keystrokes, optionally an up arrow (right) or back arrow (left) up / down, as usual. I would suggest filling the menu on demand other than the original, and providing a javascript action when the last item is selected.
