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.

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"

I'm working with a project that has as ASP menu (), which I can't get to close. All I want it to do is to collapse when the mouse is not hovering it. Is there a setting or something to fix this? Maybe a simple problem but I've searched everywhere with no luck.
I can expand the menu just fine, and when I move to a different node it switches to that just. The problem is when I move the mouse outside the entire menu, it stays open. Shouldn't there be some simple setting for this? Do I really have to jump through several hoops of javascript and events to fix this?
By default, menu should collapse as soon as cursor is out. Strip out all css and test it with simple code.

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 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 routing set up as follows:
void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.MapPageRoute("", "Home", "~/Default.aspx");
......
}
I'm implementing breadcrumbs using a SiteMapPath control:
<asp:SiteMapPath ID="SiteMapPath1" CssClass="breadCrumbs" runat="server">
</asp:SiteMapPath>
Web.sitemap is set up as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="Home" title="Home" description="Home">
<siteMapNode url="~/About" title="About" description="About">
<siteMapNode url="~/History" title="History"
description="History" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
My problem is that when I navigate to mysite.com instead of mysite.com/default.aspx, the Home breadcrumb node does not appear. What am I missing?
UPDATE
I managed to get the "Home" node to display by updating Web.sitemap as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="Home" title="Home" description="Home">
<siteMapNode url="~/Default.aspx" title="" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/About" title="About" description="About">
<siteMapNode url="~/History" title="History"
description="History" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
The only remaining problem is that the path separator is still displaying on home page for mysite.com
Is there a way to programatically render the separator invisible for the home page? The SiteMapPath control itself is in a master page.
Maybe you should change your sitemap file as follows :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="~/" title="Global Site Name or Welcome Message" description="Home">
<siteMapNode url="~/Home" title="Home" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/About" title="About" description="About">
<siteMapNode url="~/History" title="History"
description="History" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
and from the sitemapdatasource you should set ShowStartingNode="false" and I think that this solves both of your problems at once...
NOTE: of course this will require that you made this change in the global.asax file (VB):
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("Home0", "", "~/Default.aspx", True)
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("Home1", "Home", "~/Default.aspx", True)
hope this helps...
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>
