站点地图

网站是由许多页面组成的，网站中页面之间的导航，即页面之间的相互连接，随着网站规模的越来越复杂而变得不容易管理。
可采用站点地图来配置页面之间的结构，使用可视化导航控件，如TreeView、SiteMapPath以及Menu控件。

<? xml version = " 1.0 "  encoding = " utf-8 "   ?>
< siteMap >
   < siteMapNode title = " Home "  description = " Home "  url = " ~/home.aspx "   >
     < siteMapNode title = " Products "  description = " Our products "
         url = " ~/Products.aspx " >
       < siteMapNode title = " Hardware "  
           description = " Hardware we offer "  
           url = " ~/Hardware.aspx "   />
       < siteMapNode title = " Software "  
           description = " Software for sale "  
           url = " ~/Software.aspx "   />
     </ siteMapNode >
     < siteMapNode title = " Services "  description = " Services we offer "  
        url = " ~/Services.aspx " >
       < siteMapNode title = " Training "  description = " Training "  
          url = " ~/Training.aspx "   />
       < siteMapNode title = " Consulting "  description = " Consulting "  
          url = " ~/Consulting.aspx "   />
       < siteMapNode title = " Support "  description = " Support "  
          url = " ~/Support.aspx "   />
     </ siteMapNode >
   </ siteMapNode >
</ siteMap >

站点地图文件是一个XML格式的文件，通过该文件实现站点结构的集中管理。第一个层次是Home.aspx页面，第二个层次是Products.aspx页面和Services.aspx页面。
