One of the major themes for the DevExpress ASP.NET Controls in the v17.2 release was 'Adaptive' or the ability to resize content automatically according to the screen resolution.
I've talked about the adaptive features of our other controls here:
- ASP.NET Spreadsheet Enhancements - Adaptive Dialogs and more (Coming soon in v17.2)
- Adaptive Dialogs in DevExpress ASP.NET Controls (v17.2)
ASP.NET Menu Adaptive
With the v17.2 release, the DevExpress ASP.NET Menu also gets an Adaptive feature: Side Menu Mode.
The DevExpress Menu control can automatically transform into a vertical side-menu when the horizontal menu doesn't fit completely on the screen.
You can specify the width of the browser which will determine how the horizontal menu will transform into a side menu. To enable this adaptivity mode, set the EnableCollapseToSideMenu property to true. The new adaptive mode can operate with the existing EnableAutoHideRootItems mode too.
Here is an animated gif to show you how it works:

ASP.NET MVC supported
The DevExpress ASP.NET MVC version of our Menu also supports adaptive 'Side Menu Mode' too.
