asp.net : Bind label to SiteMapDataSource
I'm using a tree view attached to a SiteMapDataSource in a master. What I'd like to do is add a label control that is bound to the StartingNode of the SiteMapDataSource so that I can display it somewhere else on the page. I did think of using a second treeview (limited to one node) but this feels a bit heavy handed. So any clues on how to go about binding a label to the StartingNode of the SiteMapDataSource? Thanks. John
Hi John,
From your description, you're using SqlSiteMapProvider in ASP.NET application for a TreeView control, however, since you also want to display the start/root node of the SiteMap collection in another label, you're wondering how to reuse the existing SiteMapDataSource instead of adding an additional one, correct? Based on my understanding, since SiteMapDataSource is encapsulated and doesn't directly expose the underlying node collectino or generation interface(actually done by the SiteMapProvider...). Therefore, if you want to intercept the underlying nodes, I'm afraid the reasonable way is to customize the existing sitemapprovider or implement your own one. Another approach I've thought about is using the TreeView control. Since your label control is on the same page of the TreeView, you can get the TreeView control and find its RootNode, then programmatically assigned the RootNode's Text to the Label control. How do you think? Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead ================================================== Get notification to my posts through email?

Hello Steven,
Sorry for the slow reply on this one. I was reliant on solving the assembly error in order to look at this problem. I'm using an XML site map (web.sitemap). I like your idea of interogating the treeview, however in the end I've decided to set the label and the sitemapdatasource StartingNodeURL in the same operation in the Page Load event which seems to work ok. Thanks very much for your help.
