[Solved] Trouble binding tabstrip to a site map

[William Brown]

Hello,
I am trying to bind my TabStrip to a SiteMap using the demo example.  I am getting errors in the controller on PopulateSiteMap and SiteMapManager (see below).  First, did I miss a step in configuration or is there other code that needs to exist?  Second, can you bind to a site map and include it in a partial view to be shared by all pages? 

 

 

public class AdminTabStripController : Controller

 

{

    [PopulateSiteMap(SiteMapName =

"sample", ViewDataKey = "sample")]

 

 

    public ActionResult SiteMapBinding()

 

        {

 

            if (!SiteMapManager.SiteMaps.ContainsKey("sample"))

 

            {

            SiteMapManager.SiteMaps.Register<XmlSiteMap>(

"sample", sitmap => sitmap.LoadFrom("~/sample.sitemap"));

 

            }

 

            return View();

 

        }

}

 

Thanks for the help

Bill

Hi William,

This is code is fine.Plzs check this code....

 [PopulateSiteMap(SiteMapName = "sample", ViewDataKey = "sample")]

         [SourceCodeFile("Sitemap", "~/sample.sitemap")] ------------------ Add this code

        public ActionResult Index()

        {

            if (!SiteMapManager.SiteMaps.ContainsKey("sample"))

            {

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

            } 

            return View();

        }

u have to add some file in extensions and filters folder.If u have not created these folder plzs create it...

 1)Extensions Folder

Add this class file.....   DictionaryExtensions.cs

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

namespace sama.Extensions

{

    public static class DictionaryExtensions

    {

        public static T Get<T>(this IDictionary<string, object> instance, string key)

        {

            return instance.ContainsKey(key) ? (T)instance[key] : default(T);

        }

        public static void Set<T>(this IDictionary<string, object> instance, string key, T value)

        {

            instance[key] = value;

        }

    }

}

2)Filters Folder 

Add this class file---- SourceCodeFileAttribute.cs

using System;

using System.Reflection;

using System.Text;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Mvc;

using sama.Extensions;

namespace sama.Filters

{

    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = true)]

    public class SourceCodeFileAttribute : FilterAttribute, IResultFilter

    {

        private readonly string caption;

        private readonly string filename;

        public SourceCodeFileAttribute(string caption, string filename)

        {

            this.caption = caption;

            this.filename = filename;

        }

        public void OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext filterContext)

        {

            ViewDataDictionary viewData = filterContext.Controller.ViewData;

            var codeFiles = viewData.Get<Dictionary<string, string>>("codeFiles");

            

        }

        public void OnResultExecuted(ResultExecutedContext filterContext)

        {

            // Do Nothing

        }

        

       

    }

}

Keep coding........

Hi Azeheruddin,

This worked thanks. Is there a way to use the sitemap provider in the webconfig by ID instead of reading it like a source code file?

so instead of:

    <siteMap defaultProvider="AdminXMLSiteMapProvider" enabled ="true">
      <providers>
        <add name ="AdminXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Admin.sitemap" />
        <add name ="CaseXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Client.sitemap" />
        <add name ="CaseXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Case.sitemap" />
      </providers>
    </siteMap>

and

    <siteMap defaultProvider="AdminXMLSiteMapProvider" enabled ="true">
      <providers>
        <add name ="AdminXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Admin.sitemap" />
        <add name ="CaseXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Client.sitemap" />
        <add name ="CaseXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Case.sitemap" />
      </providers>
    </siteMap>

how can i load from a sitemap I've setup in the webconfig?



    <siteMap defaultProvider="AdminXMLSiteMapProvider" enabled ="true">
      <providers>
        <add name ="AdminXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Admin.sitemap" />
        <add name ="CaseXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Client.sitemap" />
        <add name ="CaseXMLSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XMLSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile ="~/Sitemaps/Case.sitemap" />
      </providers>
    </siteMap>


Thanks,

Bill
