A problem that i found lately was when i needed to have multiple sitemaps. Why? I needed different menus for different parts of the website. Normally, the sitemap must be found at the root of the website. After searching, I found this solution which is very easy to implement… Next are the steps:
1. In web.config, you can add multiple site map providers, and set the siteMapFile property.
<siteMap defaultProvider=”XmlSiteMapProvider” enabled=”true”>
<providers>
<add siteMapFile=”web.sitemap” name=”XmlSiteMapProvider” type=”System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider” securityTrimmingEnabled=”true”/>
<add siteMapFile=”my.sitemap” name=”MyXmlSiteMapProvider” type=”System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider” securityTrimmingEnabled=”true”/>
</providers>
</siteMap>
2 In a page, add a SiteMapDataSource, set the SiteMapProvider to you have configurated in the config file
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID=”SiteMapDataSource1″ runat=”server” SiteMapProvider=”MyXmlSiteMapProvider” />
3. Bind you treeview or menu control to this datasource control.
