The following code example demonstrates how to declaratively bind a TreeView control to site map data that is provided by an SiteMapProvider object other than the default provider. The site is configured to access a custom SiteMapProvider object though the following Web.config file:

<system.web>    
  <siteMap>
    <provider
      name="AsciiTextProvider"
      type="Samples.AspNet.Controls.SimpleTextSiteMapProvider,Samples.AspNet"
      siteMapFile="test.txt"/>                
  </siteMap>
NoteNote

The AsciiTextProvider is not the default provider for the site, which (in this case) remains the XmlSiteMapProviderobject. The SiteMapProvider property of the SiteMapDataSource control is set to the name of a custom site map provider, and the TreeView binds to the corresponding site map data.
