Hello,

I'm finishing the "Beginning ASP.NET 4.5" book and it's really a great and easy to use reference. Now I'm implementing my own website and I have a few questions.

First of all I use site map path control in my website to automatically generate a breadcrumb from a web.sitemap file.

I also use web.sitemap in my master page for the menu control.

The problem is that breadcrumb works fine for the pages that are in the web.sitemap file. But on my site I also have pages that I dont want to display on site menu, thats why they are not in the web.sitemap file. And in this case the breadcrumb is not displayed.

How to display a breadcrumb for the pages that are not in the sitemap file, o if its impossible, maybe its possible to display not all items from the sitemap on the menu control?

Hi there,

Since this is not related to my book directly, can you please post questions like this in the General ASP.NET category found here: http://p2p.wrox.com/asp-net-4-5-709/

That said, you can create multiple site map files and use one for the navigation and one for the breadcrumb. Search Google or Bing for asp.net multiple sitemaps to learn more about using multiple site maps.

Cheers,

Imar
