I have a .sitemap file that contains all of my nodes that I want to display for my side navigation. I am having trouble displaying all of my nodes when I get to the sub level. Everything just disappears when I visit the sub-page. In otherwords, when I am in the homepage.aspx page, all of my nodes are visible. When I enter the level1a.aspx page, all of the nodes disappear. I have no code behind. Is there a setting to display all nodes? Or would I need to write code to display them all?
Here are files:
web.config
<siteMap>
<providers>
<add name="SiteMap" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="~/my.sitemap" />
</providers>
</siteMap>
control.ascx
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" SiteMapProvider="SiteMap" runat="server" />
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"></asp:Menu>
my.sitemap
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="/HomePage.aspx" title="Home Page" description="">
<siteMapNode url="/level1.aspx" title="Level 1" description="">
<siteMapNode url="/level1a.aspx" title="Level 1 A" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="/level1b.aspx" title="Level 1 B" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
I just made the experiment and it works fine...
Double check all your pages contain a reference to your user control
This is what I did
UC
<%# Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="MyMenuUC.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.MyMenuUC" %>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource runat="server" ID="mySiteMapDataSource" ShowStartingNode="false" />
<asp:Menu runat="server" DataSourceID="mySiteMapDataSource"></asp:Menu>
Web.sitemap
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="~/Default.aspx" title="Home" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/MenuWithUC1.aspx" title="page 1" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/MenuWithUC2.aspx" title="page 2" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
MenuWithUC1.aspx
<%# Register Src="~/MyMenuUC.ascx" TagName="SharedMenu" TagPrefix="menu" %>
....
<menu:SharedMenu runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="post me" runat="server" />
MenuWithUC2.aspx
<%# Register Src="~/MyMenuUC.ascx" TagName="SharedMenu" TagPrefix="menu" %>
....
<menu:SharedMenu runat="server" />
<asp:Button Text="post me" runat="server" />
The buttons on each page are just to test that the Menu control keeps its state on each post
try with EnableViewState = true
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" EnableViewState="true"></asp:Menu>

I'm using C# ASP.NET 4 VS2010.
I'm using membership with roles, which are already defined as usual.
I have a ~/web.sitemap file that includes this:
(The ~/ security is Allow to all.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="" title="" description="">
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for the Administrator" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/Admin/ResetPassword.aspx" title="Reset password for a user" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Admin/SendEmailToUser.aspx" title="Send e-mail to a user" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for the SIC (second in command) person" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/SIC/UnlockUser.aspx" title="Unlock a user" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/SIC/ApproveUser.aspx" title="Approve a user" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for users" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/Users/MakeYourContribute.aspx" title="Make your contribution" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Users/CheckOnYourBalance.aspx" title="Check on your balance" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for anonymous visitors" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/AboutUs.aspx" title="About us" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Application.aspx" title="Send an application to join us" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
and a web.config file that ends like this:
<siteMap defaultProvider="XmlSiteMapProvider" enabled ="true">
<providers>
<add name="XmlSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="~/web.sitemap" securityTrimmingEnabled="true" />
</providers>
</siteMap>
</system.web>
</configuration>
My menu is based on the asp:Repeater control and looks like this:
<div>
<ul>
<li>
<asp:hyperlink runat="server" id="lnkHome" navigateurl="~/Default.aspx">Home</asp:hyperlink>
</li>
<asp:repeater runat="server" id="menu" datasourceid="SiteMapDataSource1">
<ItemTemplate>
<li>
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkMenuItem" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("Url") %>'><%# Eval("Title") %></asp:HyperLink>
<asp:Repeater ID="submenu" runat="server" DataSource="<%# ((SiteMapNode) Container.DataItem).ChildNodes %>">
<HeaderTemplate>
<ul>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<li>
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkMenuItem" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("Url") %>'><%# Eval("Title") %></asp:HyperLink>
</li>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</ul>
</FooterTemplate> </asp:Repeater> </li> </ItemTemplate> </asp:Repeater> </ul>
<asp:sitemapdatasource id="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" showstartingnode="true" />
</div>
The security of allow/deny to folders is defined for the respective folders.
There are 4 levels of security: 1) Administrators. 2)Second In Command (SIC). 3) Users (all registered users). 4) Anonymous users.
For example, both the members of the Administrators role and the SIC role are allowed on the operate in the folder ~/SIC , but the rest of the users are restricted from it.
Now, as soon as I added the securityTrimmingEnabled="true" to the web.config, the only row I see on the menu is Home.
Have I configured anything wrong?
Are there any more configuration I need to make in order to have this security dependent menu work?
The problem is the empty URL in the menu headers.
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for the Administrator" description="">
It appears that the sitemap functionality is trying to determine the permissions for the empty url "", and failing.
A workaround is to modify the .sitemap file to explicitly state the roles that can access the parent nodes.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="" title="" description="" roles="*">
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for the Administrator" description="" roles="Administrators">
<siteMapNode url="~/Admin/ResetPassword.aspx" title="Reset password for a user" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Admin/SendEmailToUser.aspx" title="Send e-mail to a user" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for the SIC (second in command) person" description="" roles="administrators,second in command">
<siteMapNode url="~/SIC/UnlockUser.aspx" title="Unlock a user" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/SIC/ApproveUser.aspx" title="Approve a user" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for users" description="" roles="administrators,secondincommand,users">
<siteMapNode url="~/Users/MakeYourContribute.aspx" title="Make your contribution" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Users/CheckOnYourBalance.aspx" title="Check on your balance" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="" title="A menu for anonymous visitors" description="" roles="*">
<siteMapNode url="~/AboutUs.aspx" title="About us" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Application.aspx" title="Send an application to join us" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
Admittedly, this isn't ideal, because now you are partially configuring security in two places.
Another option is to just put roles="*" on every menu header. It will still apply the permissions check on every leaf node and hide them if necessary. The downside to this is that it can then display empty menu headers.
Here is the resource which pointed me to this solution: https://web.archive.org/web/20210417091658/http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/122805-1.aspx
I am having a problem with security trimming of menu links provided by the sitemap. If I set securityTrimmingEnabled="false", my menu works but there's no security trimming. If I set securityTrimmingEnabled="true", my menu just disappears. How can I fix this?
In web.config, I have:
<siteMap defaultProvider="XmlSiteMapProvider" enabled="true" >
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="XmlSiteMapProvider"
description="Default SiteMap provider."
type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
siteMapFile="Web.sitemap"
securityTrimmingEnabled="true" />
</providers>
</siteMap>
In Site.master, I have:
<div class="clear hideSkiplink">
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" CssClass="menu" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1">
</asp:Menu>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" />
</div>
In Web.sitemap, I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="" title="***">
<siteMapNode url="" title="***">
<siteMapNode url="~/***.aspx" title="***" />
<siteMapNode url="~/***.aspx" title="***" />
<siteMapNode url="~/***.aspx" title="***" />
<siteMapNode url="~/***.aspx" title="***" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="" title="***">
<siteMapNode url="~/Account/***.aspx" title="***" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Account/***.aspx" title="***" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Account/***.aspx" title="***" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Account/***.aspx" title="***" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
You need to specify roles on your nodes like this (as per this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178428.aspx)
<siteMapNode title="Support" description="Support" url="~/Customers/Support.aspx" roles="Customers" />
All nodes are by default not displayed when securityTrimmingEnabled is enabled unless you are in one of the allowed roles. To allow all roles you can do this roles="*" (as described here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dannychen/archive/2006/03/16/553005.aspx)
i have inserted a sitemap data source + treeview control, written up my sitemap file, all the folder/file names are correct, yet, treeview is not reading directly from the sitemap file. Any suggestions?
sitemap code is shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="~/Default.aspx" title="Home" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/about2.aspx" title="About" description="" >
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~/menu.aspx" title="Menu" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/starters.aspx" title="Starters" description=""/>
<siteMapNode url="~/mains.aspx" title="Mains" description=""/>
<siteMapNode url="~/desserts.aspx" title="Desserts" description=""/>
<siteMapNode url="~/drinks.aspx" title="Drinks" description=""/>
<siteMapNode url="~/specials.aspx" title="Specials" description=""/>
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~/contact.aspx" title="Contact" description="">
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~/findus.aspx" title="Find Us" description="">
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~/reviews.aspx" title="Reviews" description="">
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
could it be that the webforms i want the sitemap to work with are added to the root of the folder, and not in a folder? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
source code for asp.net/html.

Came across this searching for something else. Your SiteMapDataSource has no "SiteMapProvider" specified. How does it know which map to use?
This has to be specified in web.config in the systen.web sections
<siteMap defaultProvider="secure" enabled="true">
<providers>
<add name="mapname" description="my site map" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="filename.sitemap" />
</providers>
</siteMap>
So you should set SiteMapProvider="mapname"
Using a <asp:SiteMapPath> control with the Web.sitemap file below:
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" />
<asp:SiteMapPath ID="SiteMapPath1" runat="server"></asp:SiteMapPath>
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/closed-sign.jpg" Height="300" Width="400" />
While running it's not showing me way it should show as in this example.
It's only showing the image, with no sitemap.
How can this be fixed?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="Default.aspx" title="Home" description="Home Page">
<siteMapNode url="StandardToolBox.aspx" title="Standard ToolBox Control" description="Standard ToolBox Control">
<siteMapNode url="BulletedList.aspx" title="BulltedList Example" description="BulltedList Control Simple Example" />
<siteMapNode url="CheckBox.aspx" title="CheckBox Example" description="CheckBox Control Simple Example" />
<siteMapNode url="CheckBoxList.aspx" title="CheckBoxList Example" description="CheckBoxList Control Simple Example" />
<siteMapNode url="Image.aspx" title="Image Control Example" description="Image Control Simple Example"/>
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="DataToolBox.aspx" title="Data ToolBox Control" description="Data ToolBox Control">
<siteMapNode url="SqlDataSource.aspx" title="SqlDataSource Example" description="SqlDataSource Simple Example" />
<siteMapNode url="XmlDataSource.aspx" title="XmlDataSource Example" description="XmlDataSource Simple Example" />
</siteMapNode>
The code you're using works fine.
Likely the page you're looking at is NOT anywhere in the list on the site map.
Ensure you're running this sample on a page named like:
StandardToolBox.aspx
CheckBox.aspx
DataToolBox.aspx
This is a breadcrumb control. It will only show links back to its parents. It will not send links to siblings.
I'm trying to make a menu based off of an asp.net sitemap. How do you nest the sitemap nodes so that they all appear on the same level. Here is what I have:
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~/Default.aspx" title="Home" description="link to Home" />
<siteMapNode url="~/about.aspx" title="About" description="abot" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
Here is what the code for the Menu control looks like:
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" BackColor="#E3EAEB"
DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"
</asp:Menu>
They both appear as 2nd tier elements underneath an arrow. Sorry for the beginner question but I've never used the menu control before.
You just need to set the StaticDisplayLevels and only have one level in the sitemap file.
<asp:Menu runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource" StaticDisplayLevels="2" >
</asp:Menu>
An example of the web.sitemap:
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="Default.aspx" title="Home" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="Page2.aspx" title="Page2" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
