SiteMapProvider.ParentProvider Property
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
/** @property */ public SiteMapProvider get_ParentProvider () /** @property */ public void set_ParentProvider (SiteMapProvider value)
public function get ParentProvider () : SiteMapProvider public function set ParentProvider (value : SiteMapProvider)
Property Value
The parent provider of the current SiteMapProvider.All classes that implement the abstract SiteMapProvider class can support the concept of a site map provider hierarchy. Any hierarchical relationships between providers are maintained outside the scope of a SiteMapProviderCollection collection by the providers themselves. For an example of a functional provider hierarchy, see XmlSiteMapProvider.
The following code example demonstrates how to implement the ParentProvider property in a class that implements the abstract SiteMapProvider class.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the SiteMapProvider class.
// Implement the ParentProvider property. public override SiteMapProvider ParentProvider { get { return parentSiteMapProvider; } set { parentSiteMapProvider = value; } } // Implement the RootProvider property. public override SiteMapProvider RootProvider { get { // If the current instance belongs to a provider hierarchy, it // cannot be the RootProvider. Rely on the ParentProvider. if (this.ParentProvider != null) { return ParentProvider.RootProvider; } // If the current instance does not have a ParentProvider, it is // not a child in a hierarchy, and can be the RootProvider. else { return this; } } }
