The object of MVCxMenu type represents the configured instance of DevExpress ASP.NET MVC Menu extension. The MVCxMenu object is intended to be used mainly as a sender parameter when processing events on the server side.

View code:
@Html.DevExpress().Menu(settings =>
{
settings.Name = "Menu";
settings.PreRender = (sender, e) =>
{
MVCxMenu m = (MVCxMenu)sender;
// Add a new unbound item. All the other items are taken from the bound "~/App_Data/WorldCup2010.sitemap" file
m.Items.Add("Unbound Item");
};
}).BindToSiteMap("~/App_Data/WorldCup2010.sitemap").GetHtml()
Note
To properly follow the ASP.NET MVC pattern, it is recommended to respond to end-user actions on the client-side (see Client-Side API) or to use Ajax callbacks to the server and handle these callbacks using custom action methods (see Using Callbacks).
