Hi First, you should require a file with the required contents to create a Sitemap. This file is in XML format. crete a web.sitemap like as follows. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" > <siteMapNode url="Default.aspx" title="Student record" description="Student record"> <siteMapNode url="Default2.aspx" title="Friends" description="Friends"> <siteMapNode url="MyFriends.aspx" title="My Friends" description="My Friends"/> <siteMapNode url="FriendRequest.aspx" title="Make friend" description="Make friend"/> </siteMapNode> <siteMapNode url="~/Courses/Default.aspx" title="Course" description="Course"> <siteMapNode url="~/Courses/AllCourses.aspx" title="AllCourses" description="AllCourses"/> <siteMapNode url="~/Courses/InformationTechnology.aspx" title="InformationTechnology" description="InformationTechnology"/> <siteMapNode url="~/Courses/Management.aspx" title="Management" description="Management"/> </siteMapNode> </siteMapNode> </siteMap> Now add site map into master page: <%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"> </asp:Menu> <asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" /> </td> </tr> <tr height="50"> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server"> </asp:ContentPlaceHolder> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </form> </body> </html>
