3 February, 2007 (21:11) | Asp.Net 2.o, SQL Server | By: Thomas

This is really very useful in larger sites. Now I only wonder if having a SiteMap provider can increase SEO. It even includes a nice little example of SQL 2005 cache dependency

The one drawback to site navigation is that XmlSiteMapProvider is the one and only site map provider included in the box with ASP.NET 2.0, [...]

Yes I know this is NOT the most sexy way of doing things. If I were to follow the advice of people who have blazed [...]
