SiteMapProviderCollection.Add Method (SiteMapProvider)
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
| Exception type | Condition |
|---|---|
| provider is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). | |
| The SiteMapProviderCollection is read-only. | |
| A SiteMapProvider with the same name already exists in the SiteMapProviderCollection. |
The SiteMapProviderCollection object that is returned by the Providers property is read-only. For this reason, you cannot use the Add and AddArray methods to programmatically add additional providers to the SiteMap at run time. Therefore, the Add and AddArray methods are used only in scenarios where you manually create site map provider objects and manage them with an instance of the SiteMapProviderCollection class. Use the Add method when you want to add a single SiteMapProvider to the SiteMapProviderCollection.
Because the SiteMap class is static, any SiteMapProvider contained in its Providers collection remains for the lifetime of the Web application.
