Chapter 11. Adding Navigation with TreeView, Menu, Breadcrumb, and SiteMap

In This Chapter

  • Creating dynamic menus

  • Building a Web.sitemap file for navigation

  • Using the SiteMapDataSource with a TreeView

  • Kneading breadcrumbs on your site

A navigation system provides a perceived structure to a site — even though every file could be crammed into the same physical directory. When a visitor feels lost, navigation controls provide a quick return to a known and comforting point.

This chapter walks you through the main ASP.NET navigation controls starting with TreeView, Menu, and SiteMapPath (breadcrumb). Don't worry, you won't get lost!
