Bernard,

Sorry I didn't flesh it out a little more, but basically what you would do, instead of simply adding a plain old MenuItem, you could have a set of MenuItem sub-classes that would do the work of handling the click event (and any icons you want). For example, I have a menu that allows the user to have a list of Favorites to browse to, so my FavoritesMenuItem looks something like this:

public class FavoritesMenuItem : MenuItem
{
	protected string URL = "";

	public FavoritesMenuItem(string text, string link) : base(text)
	{
		this.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.ClickHandler);
		this.URL = link;
		// this is where you'd do icons too, I don't have any
	}


	#region Events
	protected virtual void ClickHandler(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
	{
		// code here for handling the menu item click to browse the URL
	}
	#endregion
}

Then of course, you'd add them like this:

private void TestMenuAddItemsDynamically()
{
	MenuItem item; // leave it this way so you can have other item sub-classes
	foreach (DataRow row in this.oData.Rows)
	{
		if ((bool)row["IsFavorites"] == true)
		{
		    item = new FavoritesMenuItem(row["description"].ToString(), row["url"].ToString());
		    this.AddMenuItem("Favorites", item);
		}
		else
		{
		    item = new MyOtherMenuItem(row["description"].ToString());
		    this.AddMenuItem("Dynamic Menu", item);
		}
	}
}

Does this help?
