Scenario: building a site where navigation will be in master page in either left or top menu. What are the advantages to using the ASP.NET navigation system based on web.sitemap files? The alternative I'm considering is just building the links in <li> elements as necessary.
View 2 RepliesCurrently I am trying to figure out how I can add dynamic query string parameters to my sitemap navigation menu. For example, the user chooses the source and edition he wants to work with. I have a simple sitemap that creates navigational links but the parameters the user chose need to be passed in the query string. The default map looks like this:
<siteMapNode url="" title="" description="" >
<siteMapNode url="~/Image.aspx?location=Our Products" title="Our Products" description="Our Products" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Headline.aspx?location=Our Authors" title="Our Authors" description="Our Authors" />
</siteMapNode>
Now the links will need to have the parameters added dynamically depending on what was chosen by the user. For example:
<siteMapNode url="~/Image.aspx?location=Our Products&Source=12345&Edition=asdfff" title="Our Products" description="Our Products" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Headline.aspx?location=Our Authors&Source=12345&Edition=asdfff" title="Our Authors" description="Our Authors" />
Here is my web.sitemap code:

I wanna to show bread crumbs navigation like:
Home > Column1 > Content
the problem is: "~/Index.aspx" and "~/Column.aspx?ColumnId=1" are actual URLs and navigation bar: "Home > Column1" really works,
but "~/Content.aspx?ColumnId=1" is only the beginning part of actual dynamic URL, for example: it may be
~/Content.aspx?ColumnId=1&NewsId=12598 or ~/Content.aspx?ColumnId=1&NewsId=37215
all the previous Urls are articles of Column1 with same "~/Content.aspx?ColumnId=1" but are followed with different "&NewsId=number".
So, how can I realize this kind of navigation bar?
Home > Column1 > Content

View 1 RepliesOn my website navigation, I have a link to a registration page. The issue is, I only want that link viewable when the user is not logged in.If the user is logged in, I want that link to disappear from the website navigation.
How do I achieve this in ASP.NET MVC 3 ?
I have a web app with treeview based on a fairly simple sitemap. The only catch is that I want to be able to remove nodes based on a user's role. We are NOT using the asp.net security so I can't take advantage of the built-in function.When I put code in the master page load event (or anywhere else it seems), there seems to be nothing in the treeview object yet, so I can't make changes to it.
View 7 RepliesI have a website, and if there is an anonymous user (not logged in) then I want my navigation (a section of the master page) to show an element of the menu called "Login". But if there is an authenticated user then I want the navigation to NOT show this "Login" option, but to display a menu item/link to a resource that is only available to logged on users.I know how to set restrictions on files and webpages, but how do I implement this with the navigation menu?
View 16 RepliesI have sitemap which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="~/default.aspx" title="Prva stran" roles="*" description="Shema ISEF">
<siteMapNode roles="2" title="Analize" id="Analize" description="" >
<siteMapNode url="~/karneki1.aspx" title="Karneki1" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/karneki2.aspx" title="Karneki2" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
if I set roles in a siteMapNode with title "Analiza" it works fine, the link is not shown in the navigation... but if I set roles on any of "karneki" siteMapNode the links are still visible...
Is it even posible to restrict access to lower links based on user role?
I need to do some styling to a bunch of webforms, containing articles formatted in a rather uniform way. I can change any source code I want.
What I need is a quick way to dynamically create a navigation menu (on the server side) for an ASP.NET webform, based on contents of a specified div.
For example, given the following HTML:
<div id="article">
<h2 id="first">Chapter 1</h2>
<p>Some text...</p>
<h2 id="second">Chapter 2</h2>
<p>Some other text</p>
</div>
I would like to insert something like this at the end (and render it at the server side, not in a script):
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a href="#first">Chapter 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#second">Chapter 2</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
NOTE: I know I could iterate through parent div's child controls in codebehind (although I would need to make them all "run at server", or even parse the InnerHtml property of the parent div), but if feels pretty weird.
Also, I am aware that if the article was being created from a data source, I would have the content already organized, but I would like to make as little changes needed in the existing pages.
How to show menu with sitemap based on sql server data?
View 1 Replies<siteMapNode roles="*"> <siteMapNode url="~/Default.aspx" title=" Main" description="Main" roles="*"/> <siteMapNode url="~/Items.aspx" title=" Adv" description="Adv" roles="Administrator"/>....
any user can see Adv page. That is a trouble and a qustion : why and how to hide out of role sitenodes.
little addition : <siteMapNode roles="*"> appears to all nodes If I don't do roles="*" on main node, all users can't see Main node ... And I SiteMapDataSource works only if there 1 node
My web app has 3roles, I need to lock down certain sitemap menu items based on the users role and what I'm using isn't working.
my roles are Supervisor, manager, and User.
[Code]....
I only want those roles to see those menu options, I do not want someone with a user role to see those options at all. Currently if I log into my site with a user role, I'm seeing everything on the menu (via the sitemap).
I am using asp.net2.0 , C#. I am binding menu control with sitemap to display menus and submenues. Which also restrict access and display of menu or submenu based on user's roles. I want to know Is it Possible to show/ Hide submenu based on sql tables with existing sitemap method

I tried to add after the &, as it was suggested on one of the forum but it did not work. Any other ideas.
I've been having some production runtime errors that I don't fully understand. This has happened to us on a couple different ASP.NET 4.0 Web Sites (shudders - yes, I know - we're porting it to MVC but that's taking some time).
First of all, we have never been able to reproduce this issue in development/QA environments. Secondly, upon deployment, the issue seems to be non-existent. Sometimes the issue manifests within a day or two of deployment and other times the deployment will be live for a month without it manifesting at all. However, once it manifests, then ANY page viewed under the web site causes the error. Lastly, this problem seemed to only come up once we migrated to .NET 4.0. We started at 2.0, a year ago upped to 3.5, and recently upped to 4.0 with this solution and most child projects.
The error:
Could not find the sitemap node with URL '~/Default.aspx'.
A simplified version of our sitemap (with some names changed and uninteresting nodes removed) is as follows:
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0">
<siteMapNode roles="*" title="EG">
<siteMapNode url="~/../SM/Default.aspx" title="Welcome" description="" roles="*" />
<siteMapNode url="~/../SD/Default.aspx" title="SD" description="" roles="*" />
<siteMapNode url="~/../SMD/Default.aspx" title="SMD" description="" roles="*" />
[code]...
I have confirmed in all of the SiteMaps that there is a node with url="~/Default.aspx" with roles="*" (which includes public/anonymous access), so I am very confused as to why this problem occurs.
SiteMap does not have a node for Default.aspx. All of them do. SiteMap's Default.aspx node is not accessible for security reasons to the current user/role. They're all accessible to anonymous users and this problem even exists for super admin users. Passed-in URL contains querystrings (Default.aspx?abcd). I don't know if this is a problem (I sure would hope not) but once the problem manifests itself, I can handwrite the URL with no querystrings and the problem still exists.
SiteMap changes. It doesn't Service's permissions to the sitemap file. The sitemap works perfectly fine after a deployment, so unless permissions are changed in a way that IISRESET fixes, then this is not an issue. The worker process becomes globally corrupt. I don't think so. We have ~12 web sites all in the same app pool and the problem always stays confined within a single web site. Also, we have yet to have this happen to more than a single web site at a time although it has manifested itself in 4 different ones so far.
I've got a custom menu navigation built from a web.sitemap file, the first line of this would be something like:
SiteMapNodeCollection topLevelNodes = SiteMap.RootNode.ChildNodes;
However, now I want to be able to create multiple web.sitemap files, and then programmatically determine which web.sitemap file to use, but I can't seem to find out how to do this. I'm assuming I could either create one custom SiteMapProvider that can perform the logic to determine which web.sitemap file to load, or I have multiple providers, each one with the SiteMapFile property set to a specific *.sitemap file, and then switch providers programmatically before I access SiteMap.RootNode.
Iam using masterpage and i want to use navigation menu ,but i don't want to use sitemap concept
how to work with navigation menu and assign the pages in navigation menu in master page
I am creating a CacheDependency on the file that my SiteMap provider uses. I would like to get the name of the file from my sitemap provider instead of hard coding it. Is there a way?
Edit
Duh, I forgot to mention: XmlSiteMapProvider that comes with ASP.NET
Edit 2
Reflector shows a private member field called _filename that isn't exposed in any way as far as I can tell.
I have opened a large web project on elance for a social network. I got over 30 bids on my project and many of the providers recommended php even though they had .net knowledge. many have said that php with drupal has many advanteges over the .NET framework but did not say what they were. Its hard to believe that a scripting language has advantages over a compiled language.
View 6 RepliesThe first time i use the Open ID was in my favorite site stackoverflow , i like it so much, from this time to now, i have a set of questions about it: What are the advantages of the open id ?is it just a login facility(more usable than the usual process of entering user name and password)?(i think it will confuse users who are not know them)
Is the open id more secured or less secured or it doesn't related to the security issue at all? Why not all web sites (i mean the popular) use it?Is the implementation is that difficult? When to use open id in a web site? Is it considered as an alternative to the login control or not? if i want to to use the open id in my web application? What is the start point?What are the steps to begin ? Is it a big issue or i can use it in my web application?
What advantages does Membership provide in the case when you have to write custom implementation? Is there any sense to implement membership interfaces or it would be easier to make your own UsersService with just things you need?
View 1 RepliesI'm slowly getting into MVC, but it's still relatively new to me. From what I've discovered by doing a few tutorials, MVC provides an interface for communication between the database and the website and in general allows for better organization of the code. Are there other significant advantages to using an MVC structure? What would be an example of a time when you wouldn't want to user MVC, even if you are communicating with a database?
