CSS Adapter for the SiteMapPath control.

03 Dec 2006

Wrote a CSS Adapter for the SiteMapPath control. I wanted a breadcrumb trail with clean link tags only. Renders a clean set of link tags within a div tag (and optionally a span tag).

Usage:

Add the SiteMapPathAdapter.cs file to your web project. (rename the .txt file to .cs)

Add a .browser file to the web site. Add the following entry in the controlAdapters element.

<adapter controlType ="System.Web.UI.WebControls.SiteMapPath"
               adapterType ="SiteMapPathAdapter" />

 

Drag and drop the control on to the web form

«/span>asp:SiteMapPath ID=”SiteMapPath1” runat=”server” CssSelectorId=”breadcrumbs” >
        «/span>/asp:SiteMapPath>

Use the CssSelectorId attribute to give the surrounding div an identifier.
