Dynamic menu items not raising Click event?

[xpnctoc]

Here's the 30,000-ft. view: I wrapped an asp:Menu control in an ascx control. When I try to dynamically populate the menu in the ascx control, the items appear, but clicking on them fails to trigger the MenuItemClick event handler. However, if I statically declare the menu items in the .ascx page, everything is fine. Any ideas?

Here's the details:

My ascx page:

<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="TabStrip.ascx.vb" Inherits="TabStrip" %>
<asp:Menu runat='server' ID='muStrip' orientation='horizontal'>
</asp:Menu>
 

Code in my ascx.vb file:

...
    Public Sub AddItem(ByVal sText As String, ByVal bSelected As Boolean)
        If (bSelected) Then
            For i As Integer = 0 To muStrip.Items.Count - 1
                muStrip.Items(i).Selected = False
            Next
        End If
        Dim mui As New MenuItem(sText)
        mui.Selectable = True
        mui.Selected = bSelected
        muStrip.Items.Add(mui)
    End Sub
 
    Protected Sub muStrip_MenuItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.MenuEventArgs) Handles muStrip.MenuItemClick
        ' Raise user event handler.
        RaiseEvent ItemClick(sender, e, miSelectedItem)
    End Sub
...
 

Code in my calling-page .vb file:

...
    Protected Overrides Sub HandlePageLoad()
        MyBase.HandlePageLoad()
 
        ' Populate the tab strip.
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            oxiTab.AddItem("  Administrative", True)
            oxiTab.AddItem("  Maintenance", False)
            oxiTab.AddItem("  Tests/Requests", False)
            oxiTab.AddItem("  Reports", False)
        End If
    End Sub
...
 

If I put a breakpoint at the "RaiseEvent " call and try clicking on any menu item, I never reach the breakpoint. But if I add static menu items in the ascx page, the breakpoint IS reached.

Thanks.

SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteRead er();

MenuStrip menu = new MenuStrip();
ToolStripMenuIt em item = new ToolStripMenuIt em("Reports");
while (dr.Read())
{
ToolStripMenuIt em inneritem = new ToolStripMenuIt em(dr["mytablenam e"].ToString());

item.DropDownIt ems.Add(innerit em);
menu.Items.Add( item);
this.Controls.A dd(menu);
