Hello,

I create a sitemap to drives my website menu. I would like to have a a parent menu call Administration with submenus under it. I wanted the Administration to be a truly parent menu without a link to any page but when I take out the URL from the sitemap the Administration menu is not shown any more.

<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
 <siteMapNode title="Root" url="~/" description="It cannot be removed because the menu will fail" >
  <siteMapNode title="Home" url="~/Homepage.aspx" description="Home" roles="*" />
  <siteMapNode title="Administration" url="" description="Administration">
   <siteMapNode title="Facility Accounts" url="~/Restricted/Facility.aspx"  description="Facility Accounts" />
   <siteMapNode title="User Accounts" url="~/Restricted/User.aspx"  description="User Accounts" />
  </siteMapNode>
  <siteMapNode title="Logout" url="~/Restricted/Logout.aspx" roles="Physician,Physician Designate,Client Analyst,Association Analyst,Association Administrator,MMS Super User,Client Analyst,Association Analysts,Buyer" />
 </siteMapNode>
</siteMap>   

Any help will be appreciated.

 Hi there,

As i understood from your post is that you want to remove the link from Administration Node.

This is can be done by remove the attribute "Url"...

Hi,

Base your description, do you want to make the Administration have no link, right?

You can make Administration's Selectable is false in the menu's MenuItemDataBoundevent. Like below:

 protected void Menu1_MenuItemDataBound(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
    {
          if (e.Item.Text == "Home")
        {
                      e.Item.Selectable = false;
        }
    }

Hope it helps.

Yes that was my problem, thanks for your help on this!
