ASP.NET Weblogs

-[Danny Chen]- Blog of an ASP.NET QA tester

Tips and info about Site Navigation, ImageMap, Menu and other cool ASP.NET v2.0 features.

I have a new blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/dannychen

The ASP.NET weblogs are still using .Text which, frankly, is a bit annoying to work with and just plain 'old'.  Pete LePage showed me the MSDN blogs which use the (much newer) Community Server 2.0 codebase so I'm going to switch to it.  They look much cooler anyway.  Hopefully my blog will still be syndicated on ASP.NET so the readers can keep up to date with my happenings.

In other news, you'll notice on the new blog that I'm now a "Visual Web Developer" tester as well.  Actually, the truth is that after ASP.NET 2.0 shipped, I found it to be a prime opportunity to shift jobs and join the test team that is responsible for the GUI.  While both teams are quite integrated, they are certainly distinct and have their own test methodologies.  This is going to be a great experience and I really like my new team. 

However, I can't seem to just let go of controls so I expect you'll continue to see posts from me about custom controls and navigation tricks as well as a strong forum presence. 

Here is the new address: http://blogs.msdn.com/dannychen

Yes I agree I've been running the Community Server 2.0 Beta for a few months now and it's a nice blog server.

Would be nice if you could move all posts in this blog to the new blog. Or if that doesn't work just do a post in the new blog that have links to all of your post in this blog.

hello Danny Chen,
I have userd SiteMapPath Control and I find a question, look the folloing code

web.sitemap
-------------------------

<siteMapNode title="关于奇思">
<siteMapNode title="about us" url="~/AboutUs/Default.aspx?racpath=%7caboutus&amp;acpath=%7caboutus%7caboutus" />
<siteMapNode title="contack" url="~/AboutUs/Default.aspx?racpath=%7caboutus&amp;acpath=%7caboutus%7ccareer" />

</siteMapNode>
-----------------------------

as you can see the Url In the web.sitemap is not the common use. It Include "&asp;" and "% "
but I Indeed need it
If you you the web.sitemap. it will give the folloing error:
The 'url' property had a malformed URL
how can I solve it?

I'm not sure if it'll completely work but you can try not encoding your URL in the web.sitemap. In general, the web.sitemap is expecting a non-encoded url. If you find some issues with the provider looking up your sitemapnodes, look at this post:

For sure, the &amp; should just be '&' and I'm pretty sure the %7c should just be the '/' char.
