    <telerik:RadSiteMap ID="OrderRadSiteMap">
           <Nodes>
              <telerik:RadSiteMapNode Value="WeeklyOrder" ">
                   <Nodes>
                       <telerik:RadSiteMapNode Value="GenerateOrders" />
      
    CodeBehind:
    RadSiteMap OrderSiteMap = (RadSiteMap)OrderMenuItem.FindControl("OrderRadSiteMap");

    I need to disable the GenerateOrders.   The sitemap is nested into RadMenu, and I have no problem finding it- it's the nodes by value method that I haven't found any documentation on.

    Hi Danny,

    "WeeklyOrder" is the parent node and "GenerateOrders" is its child. So you could find "GenerateOrders" like search in parent nodes collection using FindChildByValue:

    RadSiteMapNode node = OrderRadSiteMap.Nodes[0].Nodes.FindChildByValue<RadSiteMapNode>("GenerateOrders", true);
    node.Enabled = false;

    Thanks Hristo,
     
    Yeah, I got it to work- and I had already checked that area of documentation you linked.  

    I guess my main area of concern is that the documentation is a bit murky in general, and specifically the <TControlItem> parameter.   What is the significance of it in this method?

    I haven't been able to find much documentation on Telerik.Web.UI.TControlItem in general, actually.

    Hi Danny,

    FindChildByValue<TControlItem>(string value) is a Generic Method. It is not designated for RadSiteMap, but for all controls that have child nodes like trees, menus etc. <TControlItem> parameter should be the type of node e.g. RadSiteMapNode for RadSiteMap or RadTreeNode for RadTreeView.
