I have looked over the web at this specific issue and seems to be pointing back to here...

I am using MVC3 with VisualStudio 2010 and the Telerik MVC extensions. I am also using the lateste stable version of the MVC Site Map Provider from CodePlex.

I cannot create a menu control from the above objects...

I am simply trying to use the MvcSiteMapProvider with the Telerik menu control. What am I doing wrong in the code? How can I accomplish this?

I have my code set up as the following. Notice boldfaced lines...

Global.asax.cs

protected void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
 
            XmlSiteMapController.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); // register sitemap for search engine indexing
 
            RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
            //RegisterModelBinders(ModelBinders.Binders);
        }

```
Mvc.sitemap file on root of project
```

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<mvcSiteMap xmlns="http://mvcsitemap.codeplex.com/schemas/MvcSiteMap-File-3.0" enableLocalization="true">
  <mvcSiteMapNode title="Home" controller="Home" action="Index" changeFrequency="Always" updatePriority="Normal">
    <mvcSiteMapNode title="Testimonials" controller="Home" action="Testimonials" />
    <mvcSiteMapNode title="Customer Info" controller="Customer" action="Index" />
    <mvcSiteMapNode title="Contact Us" controller="Home" action="About" />
    <mvcSiteMapNode title="Make a Payment" controller="Home" action="Payment" />
    <mvcSiteMapNode title="Sitemap" controller="Home" action="Sitemap" />
  </mvcSiteMapNode>
</mvcSiteMap>
