System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   SiteMapPath Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

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

Script	SiteMapPath.RootNodeStyle.Property [ = enumValue ]

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

Use the RootNodeStyle property to specify the appearance of the root node 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 RootNodeStyle 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 RootNodeStyle-Property

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

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

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

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

Style properties are applied in the following order of precedence:

• 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 RootNodeTemplate property is defined, the RootNodeStyle 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 RootNodeStyle 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 />
