Has anyone got experience creating SQL-based ASP.NET site-map providers? I've got the default XML web.sitemap file working properly with my Menu and SiteMapPath controls.

I wonder whether there is a workaround for using the standard XmlSiteMapProvider within a non asp.net application, like WinForm/Console or, in my case, VS Unit Test one. The following code fails, because it cannot create a path to the .sitemap file inside a private GetConfigDocument method. XmlSiteMapProvider provider = new XmlSiteMapP...

Does anyone know how to unit test SiteMapNode? We’re building some custom navigation controls, which renders unordered html lists from Site Maps with custom attributes. I’m trying to follow a test first approach but am finding that SiteMapNode has internal dependencies on HttpContext. To traverse the site map file it insists on using a ...
For the following header I get the same two errors on all my sitemaps. It's confusing because, if Google can't read my sitemap, then how can they say that each URL has the same priority? The header counts as line 2, after the XML declaration. Google claims only to have indexed about 2% of the URLs from the maps. Please help. UPDA...
