SiteMapPath: change the title and link of the last link in chain

Question

Hi Can you advise please any solution? I have a SiteMapPath control and instead of default functionality like

Home > Accounts > User Account

where "User Account" refers to ~/UserAccount.aspx

I would like to overwrite the last node to show info about a current user, i.e.:

Home > Accounts > John White

and "John White" refers to ~/UserAccount.aspx?id=111 ?

standard xmlSiteMapProvider. Probably I should inherit from it and add some functionality to support extended .sitemap syntax. — dominique, Jan 03 '11 at 21:31

Yeah, you have to inherit from the XmlSiteMapProvider and override its BuildSiteMap method. In here you can manipulate any nodes you want at runtime, which will then show up in your SiteMapPath control.

public class MySiteMapProvider : XmlSiteMapProvider
{
   ...

   public override SiteMapNode BuildSiteMap()
   {
     var node = base.BuildSiteMap();
     var userAccountsNode = this.FindUserAccountsNode(node);

     userAccountsNode.ReadOnly = false;
     userAccountsNode.Title = ...;
     userAccountsNode.Url = ...;
     userAccountsNode.ReadOnly = true;

     return node;
   }
}
