Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
[BrowsableAttribute(false)] [TemplateContainerAttribute(typeof(SiteMapNodeItem))] [PersistenceModeAttribute(PersistenceMode::InnerProperty)] public: virtual property ITemplate^ RootNodeTemplate { ITemplate^ get (); void set (ITemplate^ value); }

Property Value
Type: System.Web.UI::ITemplateAn ITemplate object that implements the InstantiateIn method, to render custom content for the root node of a navigation path.
Set the RootNodeTemplate to an ITemplate object to use an Image control or some other control, such as a Label as the root node's user interface element instead of a string.
If the RootNodeTemplate property is set, the template overrides both the root navigation node text displayed and any RootNodeStyle applied to it. The template also overrides the CurrentNodeTemplate and CurrentNodeStyle properties if the root page is the currently displayed page.
You can declaratively set the RootNodeTemplate property to any Web server control, and the ASP.NET infrastructure performs the necessary steps to wrap the Web server control as an ITemplate. 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.
