SiteMapNode.Url Property

Definition

Gets or sets the URL of the page that the SiteMapNode object represents.

public:
 virtual property System::String ^ Url { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };
public virtual string Url { get; set; }
member this.Url : string with get, set
Public Overridable Property Url As String

Property Value

The URL of the page that the node represents. The default is Empty.

Exceptions

The node is read-only.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to set the Url property of a SiteMapNode object. The AccessSiteMapProvider stores its root node as a row that has no parentnodeid defined. The row is returned using an OleDbDataReader object, and SiteMapNode properties are set from the values in the data reader.

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the SiteMapProvider class.

// Build an in-memory representation from persistent
// storage, and return the root node of the site map.
virtual SiteMapNode ^ BuildSiteMap() override
{
   // Since the SiteMap class is static, make sure that it is
   // not modified while the site map is built.
   System::Threading::Monitor::Enter( this );
   try
   {
      
      // If there is no initialization, this method is being
      // called out of order.
      if (  !IsInitialized )
      {
         throw gcnew Exception( "BuildSiteMap called incorrectly." );
      }
      
      // If there is no root node, then there is no site map.
      if ( nullptr == rootNode )
      {
         
         // Start with a clean slate
         Clear();
         
         // Select the root node of the site map from Microsoft Access.
         int rootNodeId = -1;
         if ( accessConnection->State == ConnectionState::Closed )
            accessConnection->Open();

Remarks

The XmlSiteMapProvider class, which is the default site map provider implementation for ASP.NET, uses the SiteMapNode.Url property as a lookup key. Therefore, any SiteMapNode object that is used by the XmlSiteMapProvider class must have a unique URL within the scope of the provider.

Leading and trailing white-space characters are ignored.
