MenuID	MenuName	ParentMenuID	Link
1	about us	NULL
2	services	NULL
3	about company	1
4	goal of company	1

6	contact us	NULL

..like that.

Use following logic to build menu

private HtmlGenericControl RenderMenu(Nodes nodes)
{
    if (nodes == null)
        return null;

    var ul = new HtmlGenericControl("ul");

    foreach (Node node in nodes)
    {
        var li = new HtmlGenericControl("li");
        li.InnerText = node.Name;

        if(node.Children != null)
        {
            li.Controls.Add(RenderMenu(node.Children));
        }

        ul.Controls.Add(li);
    }

    return ul;
}
