web.sitemap generation

Question

I'm wondering if I may be going about this the wrong way and am looking for some guidance.

I've created a site map datasource on my website and I then created a site map for it to link to. However, when I create the site map, it looks like I need to enter all the page details. Is there some way of automating this (or at least getting it started)? This is what it generated by default:

<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
  <siteMapNode url="" title=""  description="">
    <siteMapNode url="" title=""  description="" />
    <siteMapNode url="" title=""  description="" />
  </siteMapNode>
</siteMap>

For example, is there a way to get it to just list all the pages in the site at the same level or something?

According to this .NET forum question, no: http://forums.asp.net/t/1175101.aspx

However, they do suggest that there are several projects on CodeProject.com that may help you:
