Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe the attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute Description

description

Required String attribute.

Describes the site map provider.

name

Required String attribute.

Specifies the name of the provider to add.

siteMapFile

Optional String attribute.

Specifies the file that contains the site map data. The siteMapFile reference can be any one of the following:

  • A path reference that is relative to the application (for example, ~/SiteMapFile1.sitemap).

  • A virtual path that maps to a location that is within the directory structure for the application (for example, /directory1/directory2/SiteMapFile1.sitemap).

  • A path reference that is relative to the root of the directory structure for the application (for example, SiteMapFile1.sitemap).

type

Required String attribute.

Specifies a type that implements the ProviderBase class.

The type value must be a fully qualified assembly reference.

securityTrimmingEnabled

Defaults to false.

If true, and if the provider includes the necessary logic, the site map provider performs a role check against retrieved nodes. The provider also performs a role check against the current user. The URL authorization rules for the application are applied and if Microsoft Windows authentication is being used, the file authorization rules for the application also apply.

Child Elements
