public SiteMapPath ();
Public Sub New ()

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the SiteMapPath constructor to add a SiteMapPath control to a page. For the example to work, you need to add an image to your root directory and change the image name in the example code from "myimage.jpg" to the name of your image file.

        // Make the root node look unique.
        // The Image that you can use in your Web page is an
        // instance of the WebControls.Image class, not the
        // Drawing.Image class.
        System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image rootNodeImage =
            new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
        rootNodeImage.ImageUrl = "myimage.jpg";

        rootNodeImageTemplate.MyImage = rootNodeImage;
        navpath.RootNodeTemplate = rootNodeImageTemplate;

        // Make the current node look unique.
        Style currentNodeStyle = new Style();
        navpath.CurrentNodeStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.AliceBlue;
        navpath.CurrentNodeStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Bisque;

        // Set the path separator to be something other
        // than the default.

        PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(navpath);

Remarks

Use this constructor to create and initialize a new instance of the SiteMapPath class. To dynamically add a SiteMapPath control to a page, create a new SiteMapPath object, set its properties, and then add it to the Control.Controls collection of a container control such as PlaceHolder.
