Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	SiteMapNode parameter is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

If the parent of the node that is provided is the root node "/", the SPContentMapProvider class is used to provide the parent node, and any further parent nodes.

The current context of the parent node or content map provider also provides information used in initialization. When the requiredParameters attribute is present on a node in the sitemap file, the information returned by this method will include any url parameters from requiredParameters that appear in the request url.

Sitemap node filtering by the sitemap provider, based on a user's role, has no effect. If the current node can be accessed, its parent node can also be accessed, up to and including the SPWeb object.
