Hi,
How may I set the icon of a XamWebMenuItem programatically? I'm trying to do it but each time I got an erro when I try to open the menu :S
Cheers.
Hi
You can set icon programatically as shown follow:
public MainPage(){ InitializeComponent(); Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MainPage_Loaded);}
void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){ // Create the image element. Image simpleImage = new Image(); // Create source. BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage(); bi.UriSource = new Uri("icon_Welcome.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
// Set the image source. simpleImage.Source = bi;
((XamWebMenuItem)this.MyMenu.Items[0]).Icon = simpleImage;}
You should add your icon as a resource to your project.

It works in the visible XamWebMenuItem, but when i set the same picture with the same code in the subitems, when I try to open the menu appears:
Error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application Code: 1001 Category: ParserError Message: AG_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR File: Line: 86 Position: 169
Ok, I was setting the same Image object to all the menu items, so that was the problem.
Why cannot I reuse the same Image object for all the items?
I see... Thanks.
It is a silverlight limitation. Like in WPF you the element can reside only once in logical and visual trees.
You can make a test for that. Create two ContentControl in xaml and try to set same image to them. You will get the above error.
