I need to create a PARENT CHILD menu like the one illustrated below

INITIAL STATE:

PARENT 1
PARENT 2
PARENT 3
PARENT 4

PARENT 2 CLICKED

PARENT 1
PARENT 2
CHILD 1
CHILD 2
CHILD 3
PARENT 3
PARENT 4

I was going to do this using Code Behind and datagrids - is it possible to use datagrids in this manner?

Any help much appreciated.

i managed to get a solution for this see below any comments welcome:

CODEBEHIND:

Public Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
if not IsPostBack then
lblMessage.Text = "Portal Content Displayed"
' make connection show first data set
BindDataList(0)
end if
End Sub

'CAPTURE EVENTS WITH FOLLOWING METHODS
Public Sub DataList_ItemCommand( s as object, e as DataListCommandEventArgs )
dlstTitles.SelectedIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex
Dim intForumID As Integer
intForumID = dlstTitles.DataKeys( e.Item.ItemIndex )
lblMessage.Text = "ID " + intForumID.ToString()

BindDataList(intForumID)
end sub

Private Sub BindDataList( forumID As Integer )
Dim strConn as string = "server=147.149.226.14;uid=isdevelopment;pwd=656404;database=Northwind"
Dim MySQL as string = "Select CategoryID, CategoryName from Categories"
Dim MyConn as New SQLConnection(strConn)
Dim ds as DataSet=New DataSet()

Dim Cmd as New SQLDataAdapter(MySQL,MyConn)
Cmd.Fill(ds,"Categories")

Dim cmd2 As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("select * from Products WHERE CategoryID = " + forumID.ToString(), MyConn)
cmd2.Fill(ds, "Products")

ds.Relations.Add("myrelation", ds.Tables("Categories").Columns("CategoryID"), ds.Tables("Products").Columns("CategoryID"))

dlstTitles.Datasource=ds.Tables("Categories").DefaultView
DataBind()

End Sub

aspx file:
