In this hour we looked at only a handful of the Menu control's appearance-related properties. In particular, we didn't examine any of the properties in the Styles section of the Properties window. Add a Menu control (and, of course, a SiteMapDataSource control) to the Legal.aspx page and practice with these Styles properties, noting the effects in the Design view and when visiting the page through a browser. Finally, be sure to try out the level-related style propertiesLevelMenuItemStyles, LevelSelectedStyles, and LevelSubMenuStyles. These level-related style properties are similar to the LevelStyles property of the TreeView control.
