I think you haven't set the SelectedStyle property of static and dynamic MenuItems

Do it like this..

ASP.NET

<asp:menu id="menuBar" runat="server" orientation="Horizontal" width="100%" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
      <dynamichoverstyle cssclass="DynamicHover" />
      <dynamicmenuitemstyle cssclass="DynamicMenuItem" />
      <dynamicselectedstyle cssclass="DynamicSelected" />
                   
      <statichoverstyle cssclass="staticHover" />
      <staticmenuitemstyle cssclass="StaticMenuItem" itemspacing="1px" />
      <staticselectedstyle cssclass="StaticSelected" />
</asp:menu>

Here define DynamicSelected and StaticSelected classes in your css file and set the style you want the menu to have when selected..

Assuming you are asking for a "webforms" solution, given below is one way of how you could achieve this:

1. Have a method in your master page that the content pages can call

C#

public partial class MyMaster : ....
{
     public void SelectIcon(string someParameter)
     {
            // add the class to the icon / link text to make it selected
     }
}

2. Add MasterType header in your content pages (reference - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xxwa0ff0.aspx[^])

3. Call the method in content page's code-behind like Master.SelectIcon

Hope this helps! If any questions drop in a comment!
