Question:Master Page + siteMap

10/30/2007 8:27:29 PM

0/0

Hi,

I am displaying a menu, with sub menu

Websites
- Google
- Hotmail

Using Master Page, SiteMap and aspx file.

Master Page (contains)

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Site.master.cs" Inherits="Site" enabletheming="true" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
      <table border="1" cols="2" bgcolor="aqua">
         <tr> 
          <td>

    <asp:Menu ID="mainMenu"
              DataSourceID="siteMapDS1"
              runat="server"
              StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="true"
              Orientation="Horizontal"
              StaticDisplayLevels="1"
              MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="1">             
   </asp:Menu>
    
    <asp:SiteMapDataSource id="siteMapDS1" runat="server" showstartingnode="true" />  
</td> 
</tr> </table>

    </form>
</body>
</html>

SiteMap

aspx file (default)

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" %>
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/Site.master" %>

Ques:

1. How does it interect between SiteMap and Master Page. (how does it work behid the seen)

2. WHen I rollover on submenu (ex.hotmail) how can I set a color so I will know which one I am currently on

3. Only the Home (main menu) is aqua and not other sub menus. Not sure why..

Thank you

1. The aspx and Masterpage are combined when loaded. This allows you to easily control the look of the entire site from one masterpage as apposed to changing several aspx pages. The sitemap is basically a datasource for the navigation controls.

2. You can either create a css class to control the look and feel or you can change it on the Master page by adding

StaticMenuItemStyle-ForeColor=DarkBlue

              DataSourceID="siteMapDS1"
              runat="server"
              StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="true"
              Orientation="Horizontal"
              StaticMenuStyle-ForeColor=DarkBlue
              StaticDisplayLevels="1"
              MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="1">

3. Not sure

For the first question:

If I take away the code below from master page

DataSourceID="siteMapDS1" and <asp:SiteMapDataSource id="siteMapDS1" runat="server" showstartingnode="true" />

--> It will not link the site map to master page. As you said sitemap is?The sitemap is basically a datasource for the navigation controls.?

==================

A. So it links as long as I put anything in DataSourceID and asp:SiteMapDataSource id  

B. So my understanding .Net just knows to link it together if the datasourceId is included (by default), Is it correct?  

C. But what if I have more than one sitemap ( 2 menus), how does it know which one to map to?

THANK YOU!!

Hi,

The sitemapdatasource control can access the sitemap defaultly.

The sitemap file name specified is web.sitemap , and the location is also fixed, viz.must be at the application's root directory.

So event if you didnot set the property of connecting to the datasource, the sitemapdataource also can find the sitemap file according to the default default rule.

So if you

DataSourceID="siteMapDS1" and <asp:SiteMapDataSource id="siteMapDS1" runat="server" showstartingnode="true" />

So the menu on the master page can not link to the sitemap.

You can set the menu's staticselectedstyle and dynamicselectedstyle, they are used to set the selected item's style.

IMBack:

3. Only the Home (main menu) is aqua and not other sub menus. Not sure why..

You can try to use the Css Menu Adapter of the ASP.NET 2.0 CSS Friendly Control Adapters collection.

The css menu adapter can "teach" the Menu how to produce this kind of CSS friendly HTML without sacrificing the power and flexibility of the original Menu control.control.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for your help. 

But I am still a little bit confused.
I dont understand when you say:

The sitemapdatasource control can access the sitemap defaultly. 
1.Does this mean, it links as long as I put anything in DataSourceID and asp:SiteMapDataSource Id, and it just finds the sitemap file and links it to the master file (defaulty) Is it correct?

The sitemap file name specified is web.sitemap , 
and the location is also fixed, viz.must be at the application's root directory. 
2. I dont have the location fixed in master file with sitemap.
 
3.what if I have more than one sitemap ( 2 menus), how does it know which one to map to? "where is the relationship"

Thank you..

My answer is yes, but your sitemap file must be in the root directory, and the sitemap file's name must be web.sitemap.

IMBack:

The sitemap file name specified is web.sitemap ,
and the location is also fixed, viz.must be at the application's root directory.
2. I dont have the location fixed in master file with sitemap.

In fact, it is not importent where the master page file located, the Web.sitemap file must be located in the application root directory. If the sitemap file is not in the root directory, you should do some config in the we.config file. (You can refer the code I post it at the below)

IMBack:

3.what if I have more than one sitemap ( 2 menus), how does it know which one to map to? "where is the relationship"

If you have more than one sitemap files in the application.

Firstly, To configure multiple site maps in the Web.config file

For example:

<siteMap>
   <providers>
    <add name="Web" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="web.sitemap"/>/// the sitemap file is in the root directory
    <add name="Web2" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="web2.sitemap"/>/// the sitemap file is in the root directory
    <add name="Web3" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="web3.sitemap"/>/// the sitemap file is in the root directory
        <add name="Web4" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="~/SiteMaps/web.sitemap"/> // the sitemap file is not in the root directory
   </providers>
  </siteMap>

Then set the sitemap provider for sitedatasource control.

For Example:

this.SiteMapDataSource4.Provider = SiteMap.Providers["Web4"];

   this.SiteMapDataSource1.Provider = SiteMap.Providers["Web"];
   this.SiteMapDataSource2.Provider = SiteMap.Providers["Web2"];
   this.SiteMapDataSource3.Provider = SiteMap.Providers["Web3"];

So the sitemapdatasource will link to the different sitemap files.

You can read more in this MSDN article: How to: Configure Multiple Site Maps and Site-Map Providers
