Kendo.MVC.SiteMapManager and MVC Areas

[Cool Breeze]

If I am using a standard asp.net sitemap and registering it using SiteMapManager.SiteMaps.Register, is there any way to specify areas in the site map? I've tried using area="areaname" and that doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks!

Hello,

Could you provide a sample project that demonstrates the issue with the area attribute? The SiteMapBinding demo in the offline sample application uses areas:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap>
  <siteMapNode title="Home" controller="Home" action="Overview">
    <siteMapNode title="Grid">
      <siteMapNode controller="grid" action="index" title="First Look (Razor)" area="razor"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="grid" action="index" title="First Look (ASPX)" area="aspx"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="grid" action="editing" title="Batch editing (Razor)" area="razor"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="grid" action="editing" title="Batch editing (ASPX)" area="aspx"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="grid" action="from-table" title="Initialization from table (Razor)" area="razor"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="grid" action="from-table" title="Initialization from table (ASPX)" area="aspx"/>
    </siteMapNode>
    <siteMapNode title="Menu">
      <siteMapNode controller="menu" action="index" title="First Look (Razor)" area="razor"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="menu" action="index" title="First Look (ASPX)" area="aspx"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="menu" action="events" title="Events (Razor)" area="razor"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="menu" action="events" title="Events (ASPX)" area="aspx"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="menu" action="api" title="API (Razor)" area="razor"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="menu" action="api" title="API (ASPX)" area="aspx"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="menu" action="images" title="Images (Razor)" area="razor"/>
      <siteMapNode controller="menu" action="images" title="Images (ASPX)" area="aspx"/>
    </siteMapNode>
  </siteMapNode>
</siteMap>

and the links seems to be correctly generated at least on my side.

Thanks for the reply Daniel. I'm sure I was just doing something wrong. I actually went back to not having areas so I don't have a sample of the issue I was seeing handy but if I do try and do areas again in the future I'll make sure to check out that demo, thanks for pointing me in that direction!
