Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition

14.5. The Last Word

In this chapter, you explored the new navigation model and learned how to define site maps and bind the navigation data. You then considered three controls that are specifically designed for navigation data: the SiteMapPath, TreeView, and Menu. Using these controls, you can add remarkably rich site maps to your websites with very little coding. But before you begin, make sure you've finalized the structure of your website. Only then will you be able to create the perfect site map and choose the best ways to present the site map information in the navigation controls.
