Hi

I have an aold problem with XmlSiteMapProvider and the Asp.Net menu, I want to append a string (e.g "*") to the title of all menu items, but when I modify the title of the SiteMapNode in the SiteMap_SiteMapResolve, it says that this is readonly and can not be changed, Is there any alternative to do so? do I need to implement a custome sitemap provider or I can do this using the Asp.Net menu?

Any kind of help is highly appreciated.

You can't modify the node, as you've discovered, but what you do is just return a new node from the resolve event. Eg:

SiteMapNode n = e.Provider.CurrentNode.Clone();
n.Title = e.Provider.CurrentNode.Title += "*";
return n;

Or you can construct a new SitemapNode and just set the properties.

Hi

I have done it in my masterpage.cs as follows:

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnInit(e);
    SiteMap.SiteMapResolve += new SiteMapResolveEventHandler(SiteMap_SiteMapResolve);
}

SiteMapNode SiteMap_SiteMapResolve(object sender, SiteMapResolveEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Provider.CurrentNode != null)
    {
        SiteMapNode n = e.Provider.CurrentNode.Clone();
        n.Title += "*";
        return n;
    }
    else
        return null;
}

To make the problem more complicated, I tried the followin code, but even this one does not change the menu, it always insists on its original values derived from Site.SiteMap

if (e.Provider.CurrentNode != null)
{
    SiteMapNode n = new SiteMapNode(e.Provider, e.Provider.CurrentNode.Key, "www.yahoo.com", "test", "description");
    return n;
}
else
    return null;

You know what, now I'm having the same problem. I've definitely had this working (http://www.ipona.com/samples/ANV201%20-%20ASP.NET%202.0%20Navigation.zip), but it doesn't seem to in a test project at the moment. One thing I did miss out is that you need to set the parent, so that the node you return is attached to another node. Eg:

n.ParentNode = SiteMap.Provider.RootNode

I'll keep digging into this.
