Re: SelectedStyles do not work with Jeff Prosise's SQL Sitemap provider

My problem is that ASP.Net does not include the necessary CSS tags to distinguish the selected items on the menu.

I have since developed this "workround" - but don't really understand why it is necessary.

protected void Menu1_MenuItemDataBound(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
    {
        SiteMapNode smn = SiteMap.CurrentNode;

        string item = e.Item.NavigateUrl;
        bool Selected = false;
        if (smn0 != null)
        {
            Selected = smn.Url.Equals(item, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);
        }
        e.Item.Selected = Selected;
    }

Hi,

I think the problem may be the menu's MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels property is set too small.

Actually, I don't think I understand your problem more clearly, if you can, please provide more information.

I'm using Jeff's SQL based site map as described in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/02/WickedCode/default.aspx

It's a great improvement on the web.sitemap file, but I've discovered that the menus no longer indicate which is the current node. Any suggestions how to fix that?

I have the following code in my Master Page:

<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" SkinID="Menu1" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" StaticSubMenuIndent="">

</asp:Menu>
