Adds a single SiteMapNode object to the SiteMapNodeCollection collection.

public:
 virtual int Add(System::Web::SiteMapNode ^ value);

public virtual int Add (System.Web.SiteMapNode value);

abstract member Add : System.Web.SiteMapNode -> int
override this.Add : System.Web.SiteMapNode -> int

Public Overridable Function Add (value As SiteMapNode) As Integer

Parameters

value: SiteMapNode

The SiteMapNode to add to the SiteMapNodeCollection.

Returns

Int32

The index of the InnerList where the SiteMapNode was inserted.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

value is null.

NotSupportedException

The SiteMapNodeCollection is read-only.

Examples

This section contains two code examples. The first code example demonstrates how to create a new SiteMapNodeCollection collection and add elements to it. The second code example demonstrates how to add elements to a custom site map provider.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the SiteMapNodeCollection constructor to create a new SiteMapNodeCollection, and then add elements to it with the Add method.

// The LoadSiteMapData() method loads site navigation
// data from persistent storage into a DataTable.
DataTable siteMap = LoadSiteMapData();

// Create a SiteMapNodeCollection.
SiteMapNodeCollection nodes = new SiteMapNodeCollection();

// Create a SiteMapNode and add it to the collection.
SiteMapNode tempNode;
DataRow row;
int index = 0;

while (index < siteMap.Rows.Count)
{

    row = siteMap.Rows[index];

    // Create a node based on the data in the DataRow.
    tempNode = new SiteMapNode(SiteMap.Provider,
                                row["Key"].ToString(),
                                row["Url"].ToString());

    // Add the node to the collection.
    nodes.Add(tempNode);
    ++index;
}

' The LoadSiteMapData() Function loads site navigation
' data from persistent storage into a DataTable.

Dim siteMapData As DataTable
siteMapData = LoadSiteMapData()

' Create a SiteMapNodeCollection.
Dim nodes As New SiteMapNodeCollection()

' Create a SiteMapNode and add it to the collection.
Dim tempNode As SiteMapNode
Dim row As DataRow
Dim index As Integer
index = 0

While (index < siteMapData.Rows.Count)

    row = siteMapData.Rows(index)

    ' Create a node based on the data in the DataRow.
    tempNode = New SiteMapNode(SiteMap.Provider, row("Key").ToString(), row("Url").ToString())

    ' Add the node to the collection.
    nodes.Add(tempNode)
    index = index + 1
End While

The following code example demonstrates a custom site map provider implementation and shows how to use the SiteMapNodeCollection constructor to create a new SiteMapNodeCollection and add elements to the SiteMapNodeCollection with the Add method.

This code example is part of a larger code example provided for the SiteMapProvider class.

// Implement the GetChildNodes method.
public override SiteMapNodeCollection GetChildNodes(SiteMapNode node)
{
  SiteMapNodeCollection children = new SiteMapNodeCollection();
  // Iterate through the ArrayList and find all nodes that have the specified node as a parent.
  lock (this)
  {
    for (int i = 0; i < childParentRelationship.Count; i++)
    {

      string nodeUrl = ((DictionaryEntry)childParentRelationship[i]).Key as string;

      SiteMapNode parent = GetNode(childParentRelationship, nodeUrl);

      if (parent != null && node.Url == parent.Url)
      {
        // The SiteMapNode with the Url that corresponds to nodeUrl
        // is a child of the specified node. Get the SiteMapNode for
        // the nodeUrl.
        SiteMapNode child = FindSiteMapNode(nodeUrl);
        if (child != null)
        {
          children.Add(child as SiteMapNode);
        }

Remarks

You cannot add a SiteMapNode object to a read-only or fixed-size SiteMapNodeCollection collection. You can test whether a SiteMapNodeCollection is read-only by checking the IsReadOnly property.
