ASP.NET 4 Unleashed

Formatting the SiteMapPath Control

You can use either styles or templates to format the SiteMapPath control.

The control supports the following Style objects:

• CurrentNodeStyle— Formats the SiteMapPath node that represents the current page.

• NodeStyle— Formats every node rendered by the SiteMapPath control.

• PathSeparatorStyle— Formats the text displayed between each SiteMapPath node.

• RootNodeStyle— Formats the root (first) node rendered by the SiteMapPath control.

For example, the page in Listing 22.3 takes advantage of all four Style properties to modify the default appearance of the SiteMapPath control (see Figure 22.3).
