I want my ASP.NET site to have simple menu string aka Breadcrumbs. I have created Sitemap with all required elements and registered into Web.config. For example:
<siteMap>
<siteMapNode url="Default.aspx" title="Home" >
<siteMapNode url="hosting/Default.aspx" title="Hosting" />
<siteMapNode url="software/Default.aspx" title="Software">
<siteMapNode url="firefox/Default.aspx" title="Firefox">
<siteMapNode url="Download.aspx" title="Download" />
<siteMapNode url="Support.aspx" title="Support" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
And created a control placed on Masterpage. Here it's menu generation code:
protected void Control_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string path = String.Empty;
StringCollection list = new StringCollection();
foreach (string str in Request.Url.Segments)
{
path += str;
string link = String.Format("<a href=\"{0}://{1}{2}\">{3}</a>", Request.Url.Scheme, Request.Url.Authority, path, this.names[str]);
list.Add(link);
}
foreach (string str in list)
{
menu += String.Concat(str, SeparatorLine);
}
menu = menu.Remove(menu.LastIndexOf(SeparatorLine));
}
But it uses a StringDictionary like { { "/", "Home" }, { "hosting/", "Hosting" }, { "software/", "Software" } .. }
How can I use a query to Sitemap instead of it? Or maybe something else, not Sitemap, but beforehand invented.
<asp:SiteMapPath ID="SiteMapPath1" Runat="server" />
