Registering the provider

After downloading the MvcSiteMapProvider, you will have to add a reference to the assembly in your project. Also, you will have to register the provider in your Web.config file. Add the following code somewhere in the <system.web> section:

<siteMap defaultProvider="MvcSiteMapProvider" enabled="true"> 
  <providers> 
    <clear /> 
    <add name="MvcSiteMapProvider" 
         type="MvcSiteMapProvider.DefaultSiteMapProvider, MvcSiteMapProvider" 
         siteMapFile="" 
         securityTrimmingEnabled="false" 
         cacheDuration="5"
         enableLocalization="false" 
         scanAssembliesForSiteMapNodes="false" 
         excludeAssembliesForScan="" 
         includeAssembliesForScan="" 
         attributesToIgnore="" 
         nodeKeyGenerator="MvcSiteMapProvider.DefaultNodeKeyGenerator, MvcSiteMapProvider" 
         controllerTypeResolver="MvcSiteMapProvider.DefaultControllerTypeResolver, MvcSiteMapProvider" 
         actionMethodParameterResolver="MvcSiteMapProvider.DefaultActionMethodParameterResolver, MvcSiteMapProvider" 
         aclModule="MvcSiteMapProvider.DefaultAclModule, MvcSiteMapProvider" 
         siteMapNodeUrlResolver="MvcSiteMapProvider.DefaultSiteMapNodeUrlResolver, MvcSiteMapProvider"
         siteMapNodeVisibilityProvider="MvcSiteMapProvider.DefaultSiteMapNodeVisibilityProvider, MvcSiteMapProvider"
         siteMapProviderEventHandler="MvcSiteMapProvider.DefaultSiteMapProviderEventHandler, MvcSiteMapProvider"
         /> 
  </providers> 
</siteMap>

The following configuration directives can be specified:

Directive	Required?	Default	Description
siteMapFile	No	(empty)	The sitemap XML file to use.
securityTrimmingEnabled	No	false	Use security trimming? When enabled, nodes that the user can not access will not be displayed in any sitemap control.
cacheDuration	No	5	Number of minutes the sitemap is cached on the server before refreshing nodes.
enableLocalization	No	false	Enables localization of sitemap nodes.
scanAssembliesForSiteMapNodes	No	false	Scan assemblies for sitemap nodes defined in code?
excludeAssembliesForScan	No	(empty)	Comma-separated list of assemblies that should be skipped when scanAssembliesForSiteMapNodes is enabled. Note that all assemblies in the ~/bin folder except those referenced in the excludeAssembliesForScan attribute are scanned for sitemap nodes.
includeAssembliesForScan	No	(empty)	Comma-separated list of assemblies that should be included when scanAssembliesForSiteMapNodes is enabled. Note that only assemblies referenced in the includeAssembliesForScan attribute are scanned for sitemap nodes.
attributesToIgnore	No	(empty)	Comma-separated list of attributes defined on a sitemap node that should be ignored by the MvcSiteMapProvider.
nodeKeyGenerator	No	MvcSiteMapProvider.↵ DefaultNodeKeyGenerator, MvcSiteMapProvider	Class that will be used to generate sitemap node keys.
controllerTypeResolver	No	MvcSiteMapProvider.↵ DefaultControllerTypeResolver, MvcSiteMapProvider	Class that will be used to resolve the controller for a specific sitemap node.
actionMethodParameterResolver	No	MvcSiteMapProvider.↵ DefaultActionMethodParameterResolver, MvcSiteMapProvider	Class that will be used to determine the list of parameters on a sitemap node.
aclModule	No	MvcSiteMapProvider.↵ DefaultAclModule, MvcSiteMapProvider	Class that will be used to verify security and access rules for sitemap nodes.
siteMapNodeUrlResolver	No	MvcSiteMapProvider.↵ DefaultSiteMapNodeUrlResolver, MvcSiteMapProvider	Class that will be used to generate URLs for sitemap nodes.
siteMapNodeVisibilityProvider	No	MvcSiteMapProvider.↵ DefaultSiteMapNodeVisibilityProvider, MvcSiteMapProvider	Class that will be used to determine visibility for a sitemap node.
siteMapProviderEventHandler	No	MvcSiteMapProvider.↵ DefaultSiteMapProviderEventHandler	Class that can handle specific events, such as when adding a SiteMapNode.
