Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to get the ItemIndex property and use it to create a SiteMapNodeItem path separator. PathSeparator node items are created at the same index as the previous node. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the SiteMapPath class.

private void AddDropDownListAfterCurrentNode(SiteMapNodeItem item) {

    SiteMapNodeCollection childNodes = item.SiteMapNode.ChildNodes;

    // Only do this work if there are child nodes.
    if (childNodes != null) {

        // Add another PathSeparator after the CurrentNode.
        SiteMapNodeItem finalSeparator =
            new SiteMapNodeItem(item.ItemIndex,
                                SiteMapNodeItemType.PathSeparator);

        SiteMapNodeItemEventArgs eventArgs =
            new SiteMapNodeItemEventArgs(finalSeparator);

        InitializeItem(finalSeparator);
        // Call OnItemCreated every time a SiteMapNodeItem is
        // created and initialized.
        OnItemCreated(eventArgs);

        // The pathSeparator does not bind to any SiteMapNode, so
        // do not call DataBind on the SiteMapNodeItem.
        item.Controls.Add(finalSeparator);

        // Create a DropDownList and populate it with the children of the
        // CurrentNode. There are no styles or templates that are applied
        // to the DropDownList control. If OnSelectedIndexChanged is raised,
        // the event handler redirects to the page selected.
        // The CurrentNode has child nodes.
        DropDownList ddList = new DropDownList();
        ddList.AutoPostBack = true;

        ddList.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(this.DropDownNavPathEventHandler);

        // Add a ListItem to the DropDownList for every node in the
        // SiteMapNodes collection.
        foreach (SiteMapNode node in childNodes) {
            ddList.Items.Add(new ListItem(node.Title, node.Url));
        }

        item.Controls.Add(ddList);
    }
}

Private Sub AddDropDownListAfterCurrentNode(item As SiteMapNodeItem)

   Dim childNodes As SiteMapNodeCollection = item.SiteMapNode.ChildNodes

   ' Only do this work if there are child nodes.
   If Not (childNodes Is Nothing) Then

      ' Add another PathSeparator after the CurrentNode.
      Dim finalSeparator As New SiteMapNodeItem(item.ItemIndex, SiteMapNodeItemType.PathSeparator)

      Dim eventArgs As New SiteMapNodeItemEventArgs(finalSeparator)

      InitializeItem(finalSeparator)
      ' Call OnItemCreated every time a SiteMapNodeItem is
      ' created and initialized.
      OnItemCreated(eventArgs)

      ' The pathSeparator does not bind to any SiteMapNode, so
      ' do not call DataBind on the SiteMapNodeItem.
      item.Controls.Add(finalSeparator)

      ' Create a DropDownList and populate it with the children of the
      ' CurrentNode. There are no styles or templates that are applied
      ' to the DropDownList control. If OnSelectedIndexChanged is raised,

      Dim ddList As New DropDownList()
      ddList.AutoPostBack = True

      AddHandler ddList.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf Me.DropDownNavPathEventHandler

      For Each node In  childNodes
