Binding to Sitemap issue using "mvc" sitemap format per your example code

[Ed]

I'm trying to bind a menu to a siteprovider just like in your provided example. The problem I'm having is I can't get it to work with the format of sitemap file you use in the example. I can only get it to work with the old net forms sitemap format. I just swap out my sitemap file for the one in your example and it breaks the menu. I get some rendering, but the links do not work, and the levels don't work and the urls are not being generated. If I simply swap back my sitemap file it all works fine. I thought maybe you were using the MvcSiteMapProvider, but see no reference to it in your example. What am I missing? Are you doing something in your example that I'm missing that lets you use the "mvc" friendly sitemap format?

Thank you!


My code:

global.asax.cs

            SiteMapManager.SiteMaps.Register<XmlSiteMap>("Web", sitmap => sitmap.Load());

View:

  @(Html.Telerik().Menu()
       .Name("Menu")
       .BindTo("Web")

don't need a controller action as it is being registered in the global file.

This format breaks the menu:
  <siteMapNode controller="grid" action="FirstLook" title="First Look" />

The format that works:
  <siteMapNode url="/photos" title="Event photos"  description="" />

Hello Ed,

 
I am not sure where could be problem. The code looks OK. Check the attached test project, which I have made in order to replicate the issue, but to no avail.

Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC implement own SiteMap provider. We do not provide build-in support for MvcSiteMapProvider. Nevertheless you can easily bind the menu using this online demo as a reference.
