C#-WEB: getting selected menuitem to display in textbox

Just to start off, I am writing a web application using C#. I have a Menu which is binded to an XML datasource. There are three menu items each with submenus and a textbox where I want to display the value of the selected menu item. Heres the XML datasource that I am using:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Home>

  <Menu text="Patient" description=" ">

    <SubMenu text="First Name" description="firstName"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Last Name" description="lastName"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Birth Date" description="birthDate"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Gender" description="gender"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="SSN" description="ssn"></SubMenu>

  </Menu>

  <Menu text="Contact"  description=" ">

    <SubMenu text="Address" description="ptAddress"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="City" description="city"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="State" description="ptState"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Zip" description="addPhone"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Home Phone" description="dayPhone"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Day Phone" description="dayPhone"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Mobile Phone" description="mobilePhone"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Email" description="email"></SubMenu>

  </Menu>

  <Menu text="Exam Info" description=" ">

    <SubMenu text="Last Exam" description="lastExam"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Is former patient(yes/no)" description="isFormPatient"></SubMenu>

  </Menu>

</Home>

Now when I select any of the submenu values under the "Patient" menu, the value of the selected menuitem is displayed properly. If I click on any of the other submenu items under "Contact" or "Exam Info", nothing gets displayed in the textbox.

Here is my HTML code and C# code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

    <div>

        <asp:XmlDataSource ID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="~/XMLFile.xml"></asp:XmlDataSource>

        <br />

    <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="4" DynamicHorizontalOffset="1" DynamicVerticalOffset="1" OnMenuItemClick="Menu1_MenuItemClick">

              <StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />

              <DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="False" 

                ForeColor="White" />

              <DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#FFFBD6" />

               <StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" />

              <DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" />

              <DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />

            <DataBindings>

                <asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="Menu" TextField="text" ValueField="description" />

                <asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="SubMenu" TextField="text" ValueField="description" />

            </DataBindings>

              <StaticHoverStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="False" ForeColor="White" />

        </asp:Menu>

        <br />

        <br />

        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="520px"></asp:TextBox></div>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

My C# code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
using System;

using System.Data;

using System.Configuration;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Security;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
 
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 

{

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {
 
    }

    protected void Menu1_MenuItemClick(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)

    {

        TextBox1.Text += Menu1.SelectedItem.Value;

    }

}

Also, if i change my c# code to

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
protected void Menu1_MenuItemClick(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)

{

      TextBox1.Text += Menu1.SelectedItem.Text;

}

Whenever I click on "Contact" or "Exam Info", I get the value of "Patient"
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.
