New CodePlex project: MvcSiteMap â?" ASP.NET MVC sitemap provider

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:16:03 GMT

If you have been using the ASP.NET MVC framework, you possibly have been searching for something like the classic ASP.NET sitemap. After you've played with it, you even found it useful! But not really flexible and easy to map to routes and controllers. To tackle that, last year, somewhere in August, I released a proof-of-concept sitemap provider for the ASP.NET MVC framework on my blog. The blog post on sitemap provider I released back then has received numerous comments, suggestions, code snippets, . Together with Patrice Calve, we've released a new version of the sitemap provider on CodePlex: MvcSiteMap. This time I'll not dive into implementation details, but provide you with some of the features our sitemap provider erm. provides.

If you have been using the ASP.NET MVC framework, you possibly have been searching for something like the classic ASP.NET sitemap. After you've played with it, you even found it useful!

Better Control Over the ASP.NET Sitemap UI

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:54:07 GMT

I'm a fan of using ASP.NET's web.sitemap feature, but I'm less impressed with the level of control that you have (rather, you DON'T have) over the menu controls that consume the web.sitemap datasource (http://www.BuyLifetime.com uses three menu controls that consume the same sitemap from MS Commerce Server 2007, which look 90% like what we want them to). Wouldn't it be nice if you could just make it into a navigation list? We all know (or should know by now) that a navigation list (whether ordered or unordered) should be just that, a hierarchical ("nested") list of pages in your site. (read more)

Custom Templated SiteMap Navigator Control

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 11:31:02 GMT

After discovering the power of the SiteMap, especially when linked to Authentication, it wasn't long before binding the TreeView to the map was not enough. I needed to have total control over what was displayed to the user for each item, so I wrote a Templated SiteMap navigator control. It works in a similar way to an asp:Repeater so should be fairly easy to comprehend.
