in [ASP .NET]
|
From: Stuart Ferguson on 9 Dec 2009 05:24 I am writing my fisrt application using Web Forms routing and a Custom Sitemap provider using a database back end. When dropping the sitemap provider control on my master page it is not displaying the site breadcrumb as expected. Does anybody know of any known issues with this setup and if yes how to work around them? Thanks in Advance Stuart Ferguson *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

I have not played with this control yet with routing, but my question is this: Are the URLs routed URLs in the sitemap? The way the breadcrumb works is it gets the URL of the page being served and then compares to the sitemap to create a breadcrumb. If they are the routes and not the pages, then the disconnect most likely comes from the page being served seen as ASPX while the route is /products/1. If this is the case, then the most probable solution is a custom site map provider that maps routes to the actual pages. Once again, I have not played with this yet, so these are general suggestions. if you solve it, post a follow up or blog it and then follow up, as this will be useful for others.
