In this video, we will discuss SiteMapPath control. This is continuation to Part 156, please watch Part 156 before proceeding.

SiteMapPath control displays navigation path. This navigation path is often called as breadcrumb. Using SiteMapPath control is straight forward.

1. Drag and drop SiteMapPath control
2. Right click on the project name in solution explorer and add a SiteMap file.

1. Specify OnItemCreated attribute for the SiteMapPath control on the master page.
2. Copy and paste the following code in the code-behind file of the master page
protected void SiteMapPath1_ItemCreated(object sender, SiteMapNodeItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == SiteMapNodeItemType.Root ||
(e.Item.ItemType == SiteMapNodeItemType.PathSeparator && e.Item.ItemIndex == 1))
{
e.Item.Visible = false;
}
}

Excellent teacher!!! I always choose your explanations, best asp.net teacher

Your sitemap may be slightly wrong. The "dummyroot" should really be your "home" page and all links should shoot out from it, like home->Menu1, home-> Menu1. That way we do not need to hide it in breadcrumb.

kudvenkat's video is great as usual. but, the way microsoft has implemented sitemap having to write code to hide root node is ridiculous.

Great Video, as usual. But, Microsoft - really? You need to have a code-behind code to get rid of dummy root??? Couldn't have done it built-in with the site map path control, if almost every developer has to do

Hi pretty decent video! Anyway I got an error when I added a sitemap to my solution and I added the following config in web.config under system.web

<siteMap enabled="true">
<providers>
<add name="CustomerSiteMap"


</providers>
</siteMap>

The error I'm getting is
Authentication to host '' for user '' using method 'mysql_native_password' failed with message: Access denied for user ''@'My-PC' (using password: NO)

Anyway I'm not using MySQL anywhere in the solution. I found a suggestion which is to comment out the tag in machine.config which throws the error but I like to seek for a better solution and want to know the reason behind.

Thanks
