Database driven menu is best one. Alternatively you may use XML file instead of Database. Check this

Solution 1

What's the problem? Try this

C#

MenuItem mi = new MenuItem(TextBox1.Text);
Menu1.Items.Add(mi);
MenuItem mi1 = new MenuItem(TextBox2.Text);
mi.ChildItems.Add(mi1);
mi1 = new MenuItem("Other" + TextBox2.Text);
mi.ChildItems.Add(mi1);
MenuItem mi2 = new MenuItem(TextBox3.Text);
mi1.ChildItems.Add(mi2);
