.BindToSiteMap()

[Doug]

I am looking for a easy way to load the sitemap xml from a string vs loading it from a sitemap.xml file.  I came up with this but it is a hack at best.  Basically i already have the xml for the sitemap and wanted to just load it directly not via the filesystem.  Any Ideas?

// To Load the SiteMap into telerik framework

SiteMapManager.SiteMaps.Register<AnotherXmlSiteMap>("sample", siteMap => siteMap.LoadFrom("~/sample.sitemap"));

 

// Binding in UI

@Html.Kendo().Menu().Name("Menu").BindTo("sample")

 

// classes to support it

public class AnotherXmlSiteMap : XmlSiteMap

{

  public AnotherXmlSiteMap() : base(new PathResolver(), new AnotherVPP(), DI.Current.Resolve<ICacheProvider>())

  {

         

  }

 

  public override void LoadFrom(string relativeVirtualPath)

  {

      base.LoadFrom(relativeVirtualPath);

  }

}

 

public class AnotherVPP : IVirtualPathProvider

{

  public bool DirectoryExists(string virtualPath)

  {

      throw new NotImplementedException();

  }

 

  public bool FileExists(string virtualPath)

  {

      throw new NotImplementedException();

  }

 

  public string GetDirectory(string virtualPath)

  }

 

  public string GetExtension(string virtualPath)

  {

      throw new NotImplementedException();

  }

 

  public string CombinePaths(string basePath, string relativePath)

  {

      throw new NotImplementedException();

  }

 

  //public string ReadAllText(string virtualPath)

  public string ReadAllText(string sessionKey)

  {

      return @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8"" ?>
