Adds a single SiteMapNode object to the SiteMapNodeCollection collection.
public:
virtual int Add(System::Web::SiteMapNode ^ value);public virtual int Add (System.Web.SiteMapNode value);abstract member Add : System.Web.SiteMapNode -> int
override this.Add : System.Web.SiteMapNode -> intPublic Overridable Function Add (value As SiteMapNode) As IntegerParameters
- value
- SiteMapNode
The SiteMapNode to add to the SiteMapNodeCollection.
Returns
The index of the InnerList where the SiteMapNode was inserted.
Exceptions
value is null.
The SiteMapNodeCollection is read-only.
Examples
This section contains two code examples. The first code example demonstrates how to create a new SiteMapNodeCollection collection and add elements to it. The second code example demonstrates how to add elements to a custom site map provider.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the SiteMapNodeCollection constructor to create a new SiteMapNodeCollection, and then add elements to it with the Add method.
// The LoadSiteMapData() method loads site navigation
// data from persistent storage into a DataTable.
DataTable siteMap = LoadSiteMapData();
// Create a SiteMapNodeCollection.
SiteMapNodeCollection nodes = new SiteMapNodeCollection();
// Create a SiteMapNode and add it to the collection.
SiteMapNode tempNode;
DataRow row;
int index = 0;
while (index < siteMap.Rows.Count)
{
row = siteMap.Rows[index];
// Create a node based on the data in the DataRow.
tempNode = new SiteMapNode(SiteMap.Provider,
row["Key"].ToString(),
row["Url"].ToString());
// Add the node to the collection.
nodes.Add(tempNode);
++index;
}
' The LoadSiteMapData() Function loads site navigation
' data from persistent storage into a DataTable.
Dim siteMapData As DataTable
siteMapData = LoadSiteMapData()
' Create a SiteMapNodeCollection.
Dim nodes As New SiteMapNodeCollection()
' Create a SiteMapNode and add it to the collection.
Dim tempNode As SiteMapNode
Dim row As DataRow
Dim index As Integer
index = 0
While (index < siteMapData.Rows.Count)
row = siteMapData.Rows(index)
' Create a node based on the data in the DataRow.
tempNode = New SiteMapNode(SiteMap.Provider, row("Key").ToString(), row("Url").ToString())
' Add the node to the collection.
nodes.Add(tempNode)
index = index + 1
End While
The following code example demonstrates a custom site map provider implementation and shows how to use the SiteMapNodeCollection constructor to create a new SiteMapNodeCollection and add elements to the SiteMapNodeCollection with the Add method.
This code example is part of a larger code example provided for the SiteMapProvider class.

if (parent != null && node.Url == parent.Url)
{

// is a child of the specified node. Get the SiteMapNode for
// the nodeUrl.
SiteMapNode child = FindSiteMapNode(nodeUrl);
if (child != null)

Remarks
You cannot add a SiteMapNode object to a read-only or fixed-size SiteMapNodeCollection collection. You can test whether a SiteMapNodeCollection is read-only by checking the IsReadOnly property.
