copied!<p>You could still use the Sitemap.sitemap file to control your navigation, but you wouldn't use any of the built-in controls in asp.net to achieve this. I just did almost this very thing on a site I just finished.</p> <p>Make all of your pages inherit from a base page class (or use master pages, either way you'll only have 1 copy of your code.)</p> <p>Create a div or span on each page, named something appropriate (divNav or spnNav or whatever).</p> <p>In your base page, on page load, loop through all the sitemap nodes to find the current page's node. This needs to be a recursive call.</p> <pre><code> // Pass the current page url, all the way through the .aspx. In other words, do NOT pass any kind of // query string. private SiteMapNode GetCurrentNode(string _sCurrentPageURL, SiteMapNode _oNode) { SiteMapNode oNodeRet = null; foreach (SiteMapNode oNodeCheck in _oNode.ChildNodes) { if (oNodeCheck.HasChildNodes == true) { oNodeRet = GetCurrentNode(_sCurrentPageURL, oNodeCheck); } if (oNodeRet != null) break; string sUrl = oNodeCheck.Url.ToLower(); int iPos = sUrl.IndexOf("?"); if (iPos > 0) sUrl = sUrl.Substring(0, iPos); iPos = sUrl.LastIndexOf("/"); if (iPos > 0) sUrl = sUrl.Substring(iPos); if (sUrl == _sCurrentPageURL) { oNodeRet = oNodeCheck; break; } } return oNodeRet; } </code></pre> <p>Once you have the current node, get its parent.</p> <p>Add a link (the "up menu to come back out a folder" as you called it).</p> <p>Then do a foreach(SiteMapNode in parent.ChildNodes)</p> <p>Add a link for each of the children.</p> <p>So, our main call, that we called on every page load, was like this:</p> <pre><code> public string GetSecondaryNavItems() { string sRet = ""; // Get the node that matches most of this url... System.Web.SiteMapNode oCurrNode = null; System.Web.SiteMapNode oCurrParentNode = null; string sCurrPage = GetURL(Request.ServerVariables["SCRIPT_NAME"].ToLower()); oCurrNode = GetCurrentNode(sCurrPage, SiteMap.RootNode); if(oCurrNode != null) oCurrParentNode = oCurrNode.ParentNode; if(oCurrParentNode != null) if(oCurrParentNode != SiteMap.RootNode) sRet += "Parent Folder link"; if(oCurrNode != null) { foreach (System.Web.SiteMapNode oChild in oCurrParentNode.ChildNodes) { sRet += "Link for child"; } } } </code></pre> <p>I have to tell you that the code above is part copied and part freehanded by me. But this should give you a good start, I would think.</p> <p>EDIT: So sorry! Here is the GetURL proc...</p> <pre><code> public string GetURL(string _sURL) { string sRet = _sURL; int iPos = sRet.IndexOf("?"); if (iPos > 0) sRet = sRet.Substring(0, iPos); iPos = sRet.LastIndexOf("/"); if (iPos > 0) sRet = sRet.Substring(iPos); return sRet; } </code></pre>
