TreeView Server Control.

The Menu control of navigations

By: Adnan Amin (Lecturer / Programmer)2



A new control that has been introduced

with ASP.net 2.0.

It is quite ideal for displaying what is

contained in your .sitemap file.

It displays the contents of the site map ina Tree structure form.




First create a SiteMapDataSource control

on the page.

The TreeView Control that displays the

contents of your .sitemap file, you mustapply through datasource controls.

The TreeView control doesn’t just bind toyour site map file automatically as

SiteMapPath control does.




The TreeView control does come with a number of

prebuilt styles right out of the box.

By right-clicking on the TreeView control on your pagefrom the design view in VS-2005, you find the Auto

Format option.



Another interesting navigation control

also introduced with asp.net 2.0 is the

Menu server control.

This control is ideal for allowing the enduser to navigate a larger hierarchy of

options while utilizing very little browser

real estate in the process.



First create xml based site map or xml

file.

Then bind the menu with xml file.Then type the following codes.

y>m id=”form1” runat=”server”>

:SiteMapDataSource ID=”SiteMapDataSource1” Runat=”server” />

:Menu ID=”Menu1” Runat=”server”

DataSourceID=”SiteMapDataSource1”>

p:Menu>rm>

dy>



Select SiteMapDataSource control and

then locate a property ShowStartingNode

in Properties windows.

Set ShowStartingNode property value to

false.
