System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   SiteMapPath Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

Sets or retrieves the style properties for the current node in a SiteMapPath control.

Script	SiteMapPath.CurrentNodeStyle.Property [ = enumValue ]

A Style object that defines the style properties for the current node in a SiteMapPath.

Use the CurrentNodeStyle property to specify the appearance of the navigation path node that represents the currently displayed page in a SiteMapPath control. Common style attributes that can be set include forecolor, backcolor, font, and content alignment. Providing different node styles enhances the appearance of the SiteMapPath control.

The CurrentNodeStyle subproperties can be set declaratively using either of the following methods:

• Include an attribute in the opening tag of the SiteMapPath control in the form CurrentNodeStyle-Property

  <asp:sitemappath ... 
     currentnodestyle-property=value
     ... >
  
  </asp:sitemappath>

• Include a <CurrentNodeStyle> element between the opening and closing tags of the SiteMapPath control

  <asp:sitemappath ... >
  
     <currentnodestyle
        ... property definitions here />
  
  </asp:sitemappath>

The subproperties can also be set programmatically in the form CurrentNodeStyle.Property.

For SiteMapPath nodes, style properties are merged into a single style, in the following order:

• NodeStyle
• RootNodeStyle
• CurrentNodeStyle

If you set the node font style to a strikeout or overline style, the default underline style of the node is not displayed unless it is explicitly set to true.

NOTE: If a CurrentNodeTemplate property is defined, the CurrentNodeStyle property is ignored.

For a list of style properties that can be set, see the Style class.

The below snippet shows how to set the CurrentNodeStyle for a SiteMapPath control at design time.

<asp:sitemappath id = "sitemappath1" runat = "server"
   rendercurrentnodeaslink
   nodestyle-font-name = "Franklin Gothic Medium"
   nodestyle-font-underline
   nodestyle-font-bold
   rootnodestyle-font-name = "Symbol"
   rootnodestyle-font-bold = "false"
   currentnodestyle-font-name = "Verdana"
   currentnodestyle-font-size = "10pt"
   currentnodestyle-font-bold
   currentnodestyle-forecolor = "red"
   currentnodestyle-font-underline = "false"
   hovernodestyle-forecolor = "blue"
   hovernodestyle-font-underline />
