I have a website.. with in it i create a module that programmatically adds a new page when an event  is fired.. I am wondering if there is a way to add child pages programmatically  instead of clustering the menu with links?

I haven't tried to create a page in code in a number of years but you likely would use the TabController to create pages. If you pass in settings you can turn off pages from the Menu, so they don't clutter things up there. Do you already have working code for creating the pages as you state in your post?

I got it working.. this was my resulting code:

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click


            Dim tabCntrl As New TabController()
            Dim tabInfo As New TabInfo()


            Dim tabInfoParent As New TabInfo
            tabInfoParent = tabCntrl.GetTab(tabInfo.ParentId, PortalId, True)


            With tabInfo
                .ParentId = 93
                .PortalID = PortalId
                .TabName = "page"
                .Title = "my tab title"
                .Description = "my description"
                .KeyWords = "my keywords"
                .IsDeleted = False
                .IsSuperTab = False
                .IsVisible = True
                .DisableLink = False
                .IconFile = ""
                .Url = ""
            End With


            Dim intNewTabID As Integer
            intNewTabID = tabCntrl.AddTab(tabInfo)


            SetPermission()


            DataCache.ClearTabsCache(PortalId)


        End Sub


        Protected Sub SetPermission()
            Dim tabController As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController()
            Dim infPermission As New DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.TabPermissionInfo()
            Dim permissionProvider As DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.PermissionProvider = DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.PermissionProvider.Instance()


            With infPermission
                .AllowAccess = True
                .RoleID = -1
                .TabID = TabId
                .PermissionID = 3
            End With


            Dim tabInfo As DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabInfo = tabController.GetTabByName("page", Me.PortalId)


            Dim permissions As DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.TabPermissionCollection = tabInfo.TabPermissions
            permissions.Add(infPermission, True)


            permissionProvider.SaveTabPermissions(tabInfo)


        End Sub
