Bread Crumbs in ASP.NET 2.0

ASP.NET 2.0 provides a great feature of creating Bread Crumbs. Bread Crumbs appears as links or images and shows the user his current position in the website. This means if you are in horror books section under books so you can see a link something like:

Home -> Books -> Horror Books

Creating the Bread Crumbs is also very easy. All you need to do is to set up your Web.sitemap file correctly and use the SiteMapPath control to display the Bread Crumbs. It is wise to use the SiteMapPath control in a master page so that you can display the path in all the pages that inherit from the master page.

Web.sitemap:

Master Page:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Site.master.cs" Inherits="Site" %>

Untitled Page

And that is pretty much it. Now, you will see a Bread Crumb displayed on your ASP.NET pages that inherit from the master page.
