I copied the programming from the downloaded resources file (see below) and it still doesn't compile properly. Intellisense says "The element "SiteMap" has invalid child element "SiteMapNode" for the second SiteMapNode - url="~/About"

When I view the "default.aspx" in the browser I get a compile error
"Exactly one <siteMapNode> element is required directly inside the <siteMap> element."

Anyone else have this issue?

Hi there,

You're closing off the first siteMapNode to early. Something like this should work:

Hope ths helps,
