Hi to all,

 i am intersting to fin out how can i modify dinamcly the menu control which based on sitemap xml file.

in the sitemap i have added the role attribute to administrator so now i have links with role="*" and links with role="administrator".

how can modify the menu control so he will show everybode the links with role="*" and only to user how login in as administrators the control will show the role="administrator" as well.

 i have folloed the article: http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/navigation/sitenavapi.aspx#security with out success.

what is the line that retrive to the control all link which are role="administrator" from the web.sitemap file.

( its not HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity,new string[]{"Administrators"});)

Thank you for all your help

Look mys simple site map below. I added an attribute called administratorsRole.  I will set this to true or false, but you can add your own for a multitude of roles, and use "Y" or "N" etc.

In my control in the web page - but usually put on a master page, I have a menu control.

To simplify and expand the example out, I first select the associated site map node for each one being rendered

I pick up my attribute and convert to a bool

Lastly, I set whether the menu item is selectable by chjecking if this is an admin menu, and the user is in the admin role

Job done
