Question

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.NET SiteMapPath Control

<asp:SiteMapPath ID='SiteMapPath1' Runat='server' />
