Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a new instance of the XmlSiteMapProvider class and initialize it to build a site map from XML data.

<%@ Page Language="c#" %>  
 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">  
 <SCRIPT runat="server">  
 private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)  
 {  
     // Create an instance of the XmlSiteMapProvider class.  
     XmlSiteMapProvider testXmlProvider = new XmlSiteMapProvider();  
     NameValueCollection providerAttributes = new NameValueCollection(1);  
     providerAttributes.Add("siteMapFile","test.sitemap");  
     // Initialize the provider with a provider name and file name.  
     testXmlProvider.Initialize("testProvider", providerAttributes);  

     // The BuildSiteMap method is implicitly called when the   
     // RootNode property is accessed.  

     // Prints "/myvirtualdirectory/WebForm1.aspx"  
     Response.Write(testXmlProvider.RootNode.Url + "<BR>");  
     // Prints "/myvirtualdirectory/WebForm2.aspx"  
     Response.Write(testXmlProvider.CurrentNode.Url + "<BR>");  
 }

The preceding code example uses an XML file that is located in the virtual root of the ASP.NET application. The file has the following format:

<siteMap>  
     <siteMapNode title="RootNode" description="The root page." url="WebForm1.aspx">  
         <siteMapNode title="CurrentNode" description="Some sub page." url="WebForm2.aspx"/>  
     </siteMapNode>  
 </siteMap>

Remarks

The BuildSiteMap method is called to load and build the site map from persistent storage.

For the default behavior when security trimming is enabled, see "Remarks" in IsAccessibleToUser.

After the XmlSiteMapProvider object parses and loads site map data, all loaded SiteMapNode objects and SiteMapNodeCollection collections are made read-only. When the XmlSiteMapProvider parses the Url property from a site map file, it converts application-relative URLs, as well as relative URLs, to application-absolute virtual paths.

The XmlSiteMapProvider subscribes to file change notifications for the .sitemap file. If any change is made to the .sitemap file, the XmlSiteMapProvider is reloaded, and the site map structure is rebuilt.
