Al,
Try building a menu on a form in the IDE. Then, switch to the code view of the form and see what .NET generates for your menu, menu items and click events ... this should give you an idea of what you need to do programmatically.

>I have a SYSMENU table with a column, OBJCODE, that specifies if the given row is a menu/submenu or an action to be carried out in the menu item's click method. I'd like to build the menu which may be different based on a user's access rights and roles. In my attempt, I didn't get very far being very new to C#. I created a dataset with all the rows from SYSMENU and then, for each DataRow, I use a switch to determine what type of menuitem I want to create - that's as far as I got. I don't know how to define a variable number of menu items nor do I know how to add a variable menu range for submenus nor define a new click method "on the fly" for menu items that need to perform an action.
