Hi Bertrand, just found out why it didn't work out. My mistake, my asp:menu tag was not complete. It runs well now, Thanks..

Hi Bertrand, need help on this.

I'm new in this kind of stuff, and I'm trying to have image buttons instead of text in the sitemap. I'm using web.sitemap file from ASP.Net. Then I specified this in my masterpage:

<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" Runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" Target ="_blank" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticDisplayLevels="2" DynamicEnableDefaultPopOutImage="false" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage ="false"></asp:Menu>

And add some coding part as you said in the article.

But it still return text-sitemap, not image sitemap the way I want. Is there anything I should add or something?

@Omego2K: err, the menu item does: msdn.microsoft.com/.../system.web.ui.webcontrols.menuitem.imageurl.aspx

but since a Menu control doesn't understand the imageURL property, how do you get it to display the image?

errr... slight modification to work with top-level menu items:

string hideOnMenu = ((SiteMapNode)e.Item.DataItem)["hideOnMenu"];

if (hideOnMenu != null && bool.Parse(hideOnMenu))

{

MenuItem parent = e.Item.Parent;

if (parent != null) parent.ChildItems.Remove(e.Item);

else (sender as Menu).Items.Remove(e.Item);

}

Freakin' sweet! (Peter Griffin voice)

This is just what I needed to figure out how to *remove* Menu items programmatically. I couldn't just remove them from my sitemap b/c I still wanted them to show up in the breadcrumbs (don't ask). I added a "hideOnMenu" property to the sitemapnodes I wanted hidden and set it to true.

Then, in the MenuItemDataBound event I added the following:

MenuItem parent = e.Item.Parent;

string hideOnMenu = ((SiteMapNode)e.Item.DataItem)["hideOnMenu"];

if (hideOnMenu != null)

{

if (bool.Parse(hideOnMenu))

{

parent.ChildItems.Remove(e.Item);

}

I don't know if this is the best solution, but it's working great for me!!

Great post Bertrand. Know of any way to change the image on hover? Say a grayscale image until the user hovers over an icon and then diplay the same image in color.
