Step 3: Adding More Pages to the Site

I can use the Master Page to quickly build several more pages for the site. Specifically, I decided to add two top level section pages “Basic Data Scenarios” and “Advanced Data Scenarios” that I think I might want to use to group several samples around. I then built several stub sample pages in directories that will live within them.

After adding many files to the project (all based on the Master Page file), my directory structure looks like this:

Scott -

Many thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for with the second level repeater nav structure. It would be nice if "the soft" would make their examples half this good!

Thanks Scott. This tutorial gives a good basic understanding of the navigation features. If you have written any detailed articles on the same, can you link them on this page?

Scott Gives a great example of converting a sitemap datasource to a bulleted list in this article. However, a code substitution he provided for use in C# does not work. In Visual Studio 2005, I am given the error message, 'System.Web.SiteMapNode.ChildNodes' is a 'property' but is used like a 'method'. Is there a better way to do this?
