SiteMapPath.NodeTemplate Property
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
[TemplateContainerAttribute(typeof(SiteMapNodeItem))] public: virtual property ITemplate^ NodeTemplate { ITemplate^ get (); void set (ITemplate^ value); }
/** @property */ public ITemplate get_NodeTemplate () /** @property */ public void set_NodeTemplate (ITemplate value)
public function get NodeTemplate () : ITemplate public function set NodeTemplate (value : ITemplate)
Property Value
An ITemplate object that implements the InstantiateIn method, to render custom content for each node of a navigation path.Set the NodeTemplate to an ITemplate object to use an Image or some other control, such as a Label, as a user interface element for all navigation path nodes.
If the NodeTemplate property is set, the template overrides both the navigation node text displayed and any NodeStyle applied to it. For the current and root nodes, if a CurrentNodeTemplate or RootNodeTemplate is set, these templates override the NodeTemplate.
You can declaratively set the NodeTemplate property to any Web server control, and the ASP.NET infrastructure performs the necessary steps to wrap the Web server control as an ITemplate object. However, Web server controls do not implement the ITemplate interface; therefore, when you work with the ITemplate properties programmatically, you must write an ITemplate wrapper for any template code. Then, the RootNodeTemplate property is set to an instance of the ITemplate wrapper.
The following code example demonstrates how a NodeTemplate, when one is specified, overrides styles defined for all nodes, including special styles for the root node and current node.

<!-- The following example demonstrates some of the orders
of precedence when applying styles and templates to
functional nodes of a SiteMapPath.
A NodeStyle, RootNodeStyle, and CurrentNodeStyle are
all defined. However, so is a NodeTemplate. The template
is applied to all nodes, and the styles ignored. -->
