Hi

Please check that the following is correct:

1. You have a valid SiteMap File called web.sitemap in your root directory of your web

it should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<siteMap>

  <siteMapNode title="Home" url="/home.aspx">

  <siteMapNode title="Page1" url="/page1.aspx">

    <siteMapNode title="Page1subdirectory1" url="/Page1_1.aspx"/>

    <siteMapNode title="Page1subdirectory2" url="/Page1_2.aspx"/>

  </siteMapNode>

  </siteMapNode>

</siteMap>

2. You have a control in your .aspx page called asp:SiteMapDataSource and a control called asp:Menu which should look like this:

<asp:SiteMapDataSource id="Menu" runat="server" />

<form runat="server">

<asp:Menu runat="server" DataSourceId="Menu" />

</form>

If you've got these correct, please paste your SiteMap file, so we can make sure that it isn't the problem.

Hope it helps
