Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to get the SiteMapNode property and access the Title and Url properties of a SiteMapNode object. This code example is part of the larger example provided for a SiteMapPath class.

C#

// Override the InitializeItem method to add a PathSeparator
// and DropDownList to the current node.
protected override void InitializeItem(SiteMapNodeItem item) {

    // The only node that must be handled is the CurrentNode.
    if (item.ItemType == SiteMapNodeItemType.Current)
    {
        HyperLink hLink = new HyperLink();

        // No Theming for the HyperLink.
        hLink.EnableTheming = false;
        // Enable the link of the SiteMapPath is enabled.
        hLink.Enabled = this.Enabled;

        // Set the properties of the HyperLink to
        // match those of the corresponding SiteMapNode.
        hLink.NavigateUrl = item.SiteMapNode.Url;
        hLink.Text        = item.SiteMapNode.Title;
        if (ShowToolTips) {
            hLink.ToolTip = item.SiteMapNode.Description;
        }

        // Apply styles or templates to the HyperLink here.
        // ...
        // ...

        // Add the item to the Controls collection.
        item.Controls.Add(hLink);

        AddDropDownListAfterCurrentNode(item);
    }
    else {
        base.InitializeItem(item);
    }
}

Remarks

The SiteMapNode property gets or sets the SiteMapNode that the SiteMapNodeItem is bound to. SiteMapNodeItem objects that have a PathSeparator type are not bound to a corresponding SiteMapNode object.
