This section contains two code examples. The first code example demonstrates how to create a new site map node collection and add elements to it. The second code example demonstrates how to load site map data from a text file.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the SiteMapNodeCollection constructor to create a new SiteMapNodeCollection collection, and then add elements to it with the Add method.

' The LoadSiteMapData() Function loads site navigation
' data from persistent storage into a DataTable.
Dim siteMapData As DataTable
siteMapData = LoadSiteMapData()
' Create a SiteMapNodeCollection.
Dim nodes As New SiteMapNodeCollection()
' Create a SiteMapNode and add it to the collection.
Dim tempNode As SiteMapNode
Dim row As DataRow
Dim index As Integer
index = 0
While (index < siteMapData.Rows.Count)
row = siteMapData.Rows(index)
' Create a node based on the data in the DataRow.
tempNode = New SiteMapNode(SiteMap.Provider, row("Key").ToString(), row("Url").ToString())
' Add the node to the collection.
nodes.Add(tempNode)
index = index + 1
End While

// The LoadSiteMapData() method loads site navigation
// data from persistent storage into a DataTable.
DataTable siteMap = LoadSiteMapData();
// Create a SiteMapNodeCollection.
SiteMapNodeCollection nodes = new SiteMapNodeCollection();
// Create a SiteMapNode and add it to the collection.
SiteMapNode tempNode;
DataRow row;
int index = 0;
while (index < siteMap.Rows.Count)
{
row = siteMap.Rows[index];
// Create a node based on the data in the DataRow.
tempNode = new SiteMapNode(SiteMap.Provider,
row["Key"].ToString(),
row["Url"].ToString());
// Add the node to the collection.
nodes.Add(tempNode);
++index;
}

The following code example demonstrates how the SimpleTextSiteMapProvider parses a text file that contains site map data in comma-delimited strings. A new SiteMapNode object is added to the internal tracking collections of the class for each line that is read from the file.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the SiteMapProvider class.
