Hey all,

i have a "System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index must be within the bounds of the List." exception. I want to create a menu in the Site.Master, which can set an extra Item when a special user is loged in.

Site.Master:

ASP.NET

<div class="menu">
    <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server"
     EnableViewState="false"  
     Orientation="Horizontal" >
    
</div>

Site.Master.cs:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       String User = Context.User.Identity.Name.Split(new Char[] { '\\' })[1];
       MenuItem item = new MenuItem();
       item.Text = "Configure";
       item.NavigateUrl = "~/Default.aspx";
       Menu1.Items.Add(item);
       if (User.Equals(user1) | User.Equals(user2))
       {
           item.Text = "Appstore";
           item.NavigateUrl = "~/AppStore.aspx";
           Menu1.Items.Add(item);
       }
       item.Text = "About";
       item.NavigateUrl = "~/About.aspx";
       Menu1.Items.Add(item);
}

Can someone tell me what´s wrong?

You have to create new item object instead of reusing it.

Try this :

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       String User = Context.User.Identity.Name.Split(new Char[] { '\\' })[1];
       MenuItem item = new MenuItem();
       item.Text = "Configure";
       item.NavigateUrl = "~/Default.aspx";
       Menu1.Items.Add(item);
       if (User.Equals(user1) | User.Equals(user2))
       {
           item = new MenuItem();
           item.Text = "Appstore";
           item.NavigateUrl = "~/AppStore.aspx";
           Menu1.Items.Add(item);
       }
       item = new MenuItem();
       item.Text = "About";
       item.NavigateUrl = "~/About.aspx";
       Menu1.Items.Add(item);
}
