ASP.NET Navigation Controls using .master pages
I am creating a new simple web site using EW0 sp1.
I have created a main.master page, a default.aspx page based upon the .master, several child.aspx pages based upon the .master, and a Web.sitemap file describing my desired navigation structure saved to the root of the web. I have added to the main.master page the ASP.NET menu navigation control to a div (which is not set to be a ContentPlaceHolder) and created new and chose a SiteMapDataSource1.
Should I rename all of the default "title(s)" on each of the pages (which by default all currently read the same "Archi-Build") to a unique name for each page and then type those unique titles into the web.sitemap file? Ex: <%@ Page masterpagefile="main.master" language="C#" title="Archi-Build" %> would be changed to <%@ Page masterpagefile="main.master" language="C#" title="Architecture" %> and so on...
Needless to say, when I do this and preview the Default.aspx page in a browser, the menu displays the title of the main.master page "main" but doesn't react to a mouse click. The same problem occurs if I do not rename all of the pages and list the same default title in the Web.sitemap.

Thanks for your reply. I found these answers after combing through the forum you suggested.
No, do not rename the "title" on your web pages created using a .master page. The "title" that appears on the top of these pages refers to the master page, not the page created using it. (presumably these pages do not have a "title" of their own?)
The "title" for each page in the web.sitmap file is different from the .master title. You make these up for what you want to have appear in the menu, sitemappath, or treeview.- Marcado como Respostactctc segunda-feira, 6 de julho de 2009 18:52

- Here's a resource at the MS Asp.Net Forum:

- The edit window showed a blank page so I can't fix it. Arrgh! Here's the link...

Sorry for the confusion.

That's been randomly happening for me, too. Must have been the latest forum upgrade :) The last forum "upgrade" broke many things. I can't tell you how many posts of mine that have disappeared into the ether.
MS MVP Expression Tutorials & Help http://by-expression.com and online instructor led Expression Classes- The blank window fixes itself after a few minutes. If you try to edit soon after a post, it'll be blank. Come back later and it's fine. A new feature, surely.
