ASP.NET: Custom dynamically populated site map (SiteMapProvider)
I'm trying to write my first very own SiteMapProvider
subclass. It is meant to be populated dynamically using a bunch of different database lookups, much like all of the examples I've found on the web.
However, there are a whole bunch of things that are quite unclear to me. Here are my two first questions:
- Why is
StaticSiteMapProvider
used in virtually everyone's project inste开发者_Go百科ad ofSiteMapProvider
? Since the class contains the name "static", I'm getting the impression that it's not as...well, dynamic as I want it. - Can someone provide me with a super-minimalistic
SiteMapProvider
subclass which populates the map using only static data, i.e. no database access, etc.?
SiteMapProvider
can be tottaly dynamic. For example it can make dynamic lookup just for nodes. In contrast with StaticSiteMapProvider
you should know whole structure. So this for you to decide what to choose.
You can look at the XmlSiteMapProvider
, this is good example of "static" map provider.
public class CoolMapProvider : StaticSiteMapProvider
{
public override SiteMapNode BuildSiteMap()
{
var root = new SiteMapNode(this, "test", "~/test.aspx");
base.AddNode(root, null);
base.AddNode(new SiteMapNode(this, "test-child", "~/test_child.aspx"), root);
return root;
}
}
I did not checked this, but should work.
