overwritte datasource

[Daniela]

When using more than one RadSiteMap on the page the data source is overwritten.

  <telerik:RadSiteMap runat="server" ID="RadSiteMapCategoryPath" OnNodeDataBound="OnNodeDataBound_CategoryPath" MaxDataBindDepth="1">
  <LevelSettings>
    <telerik:SiteMapLevelSetting Level="0" Layout="Flow" SeparatorText="--">
      <ListLayout />
    </telerik:SiteMapLevelSetting>
  </LevelSettings>
</telerik:RadSiteMap>
<telerik:RadSiteMap runat="server" ID="RadSiteMapCategoryOwerview" OnNodeDataBound="OnNodeDataBound_CategoryOwerview" MaxDataBindDepth="1">
  <LevelSettings>
    <telerik:SiteMapLevelSetting Level="0">
      <ListLayout RepeatColumns="3" AlignRows="true" />
    </telerik:SiteMapLevelSetting>
  </LevelSettings>
</telerik:RadSiteMap>

Code:

      var cats1 = new List<Categories>();
      this.ModifyWorkflowControlReadOnly(a =>
      {
        cats1 = Categories.GetAll(a);
      });

      RadSiteMapCategoryOwerview.DataTextField = "Name";
      RadSiteMapCategoryOwerview.DataValueField = "ID";
      RadSiteMapCategoryOwerview.DataFieldID = "ID";
      RadSiteMapCategoryOwerview.DataFieldParentID = "ID_Category_Parent";
      RadSiteMapCategoryOwerview.DataSource = cats1;

      RadSiteMapCategoryOwerview.DataBind();

-------------------

      var cats2 = new List<Categories>();
      this.ModifyWorkflowControlReadOnly(a =>
      {
        cats2 = Categories.GetAll(a);
      });

      RadSiteMapCategoryPath.Dispose();

      // add start item
      Categories item = new Categories();
      item.Name = "Hautkategorien";
      cats2.Add(item);

      RadSiteMapCategoryPath.DataTextField = "Name";
      RadSiteMapCategoryPath.DataValueField = "ID";
      RadSiteMapCategoryPath.DataFieldID = "ID";
      RadSiteMapCategoryPath.DataFieldParentID = "ID_Category_Parent";
      RadSiteMapCategoryPath.DataSource = cats2;

      RadSiteMapCategoryPath.DataBind();

The site map RadSiteMapCategoryPath and RadSiteMapCategoryOwerview show the same result.
But the List cats1 and cats2 have different values.

How can I solve this problem?

Best regards

Hello Daniela,

As far as I can see both RadSiteMaps are bound against Categories.GetAllData(). How is that returning different values each time? I suggest that you double check that Categories.GetAllData is returning different lists, otherwise the SiteMaps would display the same by presumption.

All the best,
