c# - passing data to another page from nlevel menu -

i have multi level menu asp.net c# gets items database table. table has items: menuid, menuname, description, parentid. code below.

<asp:menu id="menubar" runat="server" orientation="horizontal" width="80%"                     onmenuitemclick="menubar_menuitemclick" height="28px">                  </asp:menu> 

and code behind is:

public void connect()     {         con = new sqlconnection(system.configuration.configurationmanager.connectionstrings["cnstring"].connectionstring);     }      private void getmenu()     {          connect();         con.open();         dataset ds = new dataset();         datatable dt = new datatable();         string sql = "select * tbl_webmenu";         sqldataadapter da = new sqldataadapter(sql, con);         da.fill(ds);         dt = ds.tables[0];         datarow[] drowpar = dt.select("parentid=" + 0);          foreach (datarow dr in drowpar)         {             menubar.items.add(new menuitem(dr["menuname"].tostring(), dr["menuid"].tostring()));         }          foreach (datarow dr in dt.select("parentid >" + 0))         {             menuitem mnu = new menuitem(dr["menuname"].tostring(), dr["menuid"].tostring());               mnu.enabled = true;          }         con.close();     } 

i have page it's name description.aspx. when clicking on 1 of menu items, want redirect description page , show description of selected menu item. think should use querystring, on menuitem click: responce.redirect(description.aspx?id=something) problem don't know how id of selected item of menu , pass description page. please me. thank you

you can add parameters value when adding items menu , retrieve these in on click event handler.

protected void menubar_menuitemclick(object sender, menueventargs e)     {         response.redirect("somepage.aspx?id=" + e.commandargument);     }
