Visual InterDev

Site diagrams give you a visual way to design how users navigate through your site and provide a fast and efficient way to manage site navigation. Simply by dragging page icons into place in your diagram, you can create relationships between your Web pages. These relationships are reflected in the Web application's site structure file, which contains the navigation-related information for pages in the Web application.

When you use layouts or the PageNavbar design-time control, Site Designer interprets the information in the site structure file to determine the types of links to include in the navigation bars for each Web page in the site diagram.

Once the navigation bars are in place, you can modify the links included in the navigation bars for a site by adding, moving, and deleting pages from a site diagram. If you have created a new Web application with a layout or if you have applied a layout or PageNavbar design-time control to an existing Web application, you can automatically update the navigation bar links in your pages with Site Designer.
