Comments

The code example uses a comma-delimited file called SiteMap.txt that follows a specific structure to load site-map information. The first line of the file represents the root node of the site map, and subsequent lines are child nodes. Each child node identifies its parent node by URL.

The SimpleTextSiteMapProvider provides example implementations of all of the properties and methods for the SiteMapProvider class.

Finally, the SimpleTextSiteMapProvider is configured to be the default provider in the Web.config file, as shown in the following code example.

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <siteMap defaultProvider="SimpleTextSiteMapProvider">
     <providers>
       <add 
         name="SimpleTextSiteMapProvider"
         type="<type name>"
         siteMapFile = "<path>/siteMap.txt" />
     </providers> 
    </siteMap>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

To customize this example, replace <type name> with the fully qualified name of the class that implements your site-map data provider. For example, in the C# code above, you would replace <type name> with Samples.AspNet.CS.SimpleTextSiteMapProvider. If you compile your site-map data provider code and place it in the Bin directory, the <type name> string must also include the name of your compiled file without the file name extension. For example, if you compiled the C# code above into a file called Samples.AspNet.dll, you would replace <type name> with Samples.AspNet.CS.SimpleTextSiteMapProvider.Samples.AspNet. Lastly, replace <path> with the relative path to your site-map file.

Note

When you inherit from the SiteMapProvider class, as opposed to inheriting from the StaticSiteMapProvider class, you must override the following members: GetRootNodeCore, FindSiteMapNode, GetChildNodes, and GetParentNode.
