Why is my Sitemap.CurrentNode null????

Question

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Making the Sitemap.CurrentNode work in my code is oddly a problem.

I haven't figured out how to list code on STOF yet... so here is the code that will easily be displayed.

Title: "localhost/home.aspx/about"
Response.write(SiteMap.CurrentNode.Title)

Title: localhost/Web.sitemap "
siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0"
siteMapNode url="localhost" title="ROOT" description="parent "
siteMapNode url="localhost/Home.aspx/about" title="About" description="mommy I'm cold "> /siteMapNode
/sitemap

MVC routing is used. routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}.aspx/{action}/{id}", New With {.controller = "Home", .action = "Index", .id = ""})

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you confirmed that the SiteMap bits work out of the box with ASP.NET MVC?

Not every ASP.NET control works with ASP.NET MVC. You can check out this project to make it work: http://mvcsitemap.codeplex.com/
