This topic provides information about the navigation controls available in the Toolbox in Page Edit mode.

 

There are four navigation controls in Sitefinity which are part of the award-winning Telerik RadControls and are already added to the toolbox: 

Sitefinity includes the whole Telerik RadControls suite. To use any of the controls not listed above, you need to add them to the toolbox. For more information, see RadControls for ASP.Net AJAX

 

Sitefinity provides other navigation controls, including four that wrap the above-listed navigational RadControls:

  • Dynamic Hyper Link - Dynamic link independent of a Web page  
  • Site Menu - Provides RadMenu functionality with predefined data source
  • Site Panelbar - Provides RadPanelBar functionality with predefined data source
  • Site Tabstrip - Provides RadTabStrip functionality with predefined data source
  • Site Treeview - Provides RadTreeview functionality with predefined data source
  • Breadcrumb - Creates "breadcrumb trail" navigation links showing the location of the current page in the site's navigation hierarchy
  • Hyper Link - Creates links on a Web page that allow users to move from page to page in the application
  • Language Selector - Displays a box with option to choose available language versions of the page

 

They provide SiteMap binding out of the box. There is no need to place an additional SiteMapDataSource control in order to provide site navigation with these navigation controls. The controls are included in the Navigation group in Sitefinity’s toolbox, and for basic functionality only one needs to be dropped on a page.
