The following tables list the members exposed by the SiteMapNode type.

 Public Constructors

	Name	Description
	SiteMapNode	Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the SiteMapNode class and associates it with the specified SiteMapProvider object.

 Public Properties

(see also Protected Properties )

	Name	Description
	ChildNodes	Gets or sets all the child nodes of the current SiteMapNode object from the associated SiteMapProvider provider.
	Description	Gets or sets a description for the SiteMapNode.
	HasChildNodes	Gets a value indicating whether the current SiteMapNode has any child nodes.
	Item	Gets or sets a custom attribute from the Attributes collection or a resource string based on the specified key.
	Key	Gets a string representing a lookup key for a site map node.
	NextSibling	Gets the next SiteMapNode node on the same hierarchical level as the current one, relative to the ParentNode property (if one exists).
	ParentNode	Gets or sets the SiteMapNode object that is the parent of the current node.
	PreviousSibling	Gets the previous SiteMapNode object on the same level as the current one, relative to the ParentNode object (if one exists).
	Provider	Gets the SiteMapProvider provider that the SiteMapNode object is tracked by.
	ReadOnly	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the site map node can be modified.
	ResourceKey	Gets or sets the resource key that is used to localize the SiteMapNode.
	Roles	Gets or sets a collection of roles that are associated with the SiteMapNode object, used during security trimming.
	RootNode	Gets the root node of the root provider in a site map provider hierarchy. If no provider hierarchy exists, the RootNode property gets the root node of the current provider.
	Title	Gets or sets the title of the SiteMapNode object.
	Url	Gets or sets the URL of the page that the SiteMapNode object represents.

	Equals	Overloaded. Overridden. Determines whether two objects are equal.
	GetAllNodes	Retrieves a read-only collection of all SiteMapNode objects that are descendants of the calling node, regardless of the degree of separation.
	GetDataSourceView	Retrieves the SiteMapDataSourceView object that is associated with the current node.
	GetHashCode	Overridden. Returns the hash code of the SiteMapNode object.
	GetHierarchicalDataSourceView	Retrieves the SiteMapHierarchicalDataSourceView object that is associated with the current node.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsAccessibleToUser	Gets a value indicating whether the specified site map node can be viewed by the user in the specified context.
	IsDescendantOf	Gets a value indicating whether the current site map node is a child or a direct descendant of the specified node.

 Protected Methods

	Name	Description
	Finalize	Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetExplicitResourceString	Retrieves a localized string based on a SiteMapNode attribute to localize, a default string to return if no resource is found, and a Boolean value indicating whether to throw an exception if no resource is found.
	GetImplicitResourceString	Gets a localized string based on the attribute name and ResourceKey property that is specified by the SiteMapProvider by which the SiteMapNode is tracked.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
