CMSSiteMap

ApplyMenuInactivation

If true, the sitemap does not render links for pages set as Inactive menu items. You can configure the navigation settings for individual pages in Pages -> Edit -> Properties -> Navigation.

EncodeMenuCaption

Indicates whether the control HTML encodes the captions of site map items. Enable if you need to display pages whose names contain HTML code.

LoadDataAutomaticaly

Indicates whether the control automatically loads page data. True by default.

If you set this property to false, you need to assign a custom DataSet into the DataSource property and then call the control’s ReloadData method.

OrderBy

Gets or sets the ORDER BY clause of the SQL query that the control uses to load data.

Important: The root of the displayed page tree (or sub-tree) must be first in the resulting order, otherwise the control may not display all pages correctly. You can ensure this by starting the Order by value with the NodeLevel column.

“NodeLevel, NodeOrder”

RenderedHTML

Gets or sets the HTML code rendered by the control.

If you need to set this property manually, do so before the Render event (for example in the OnLoad event).

RenderLinkTitle

Indicates whether the sitemap renders page names as Title attributes (tooltips) for links. This can improve the sitemap’s accessibility.

UrlTarget

Specifies the target frame for all links in the site map.

“_blank”

ApplyMenuDesign

Indicates whether the control applies page menu design settings. True by default.

Columns

Contains the names of columns that the control loads for pages (menu items) in addition to the default columns. If you need data from other columns, type their names separated by commas.

Note: To find a full list of the default navigation columns, use the SQL queries debugging tool and inspect the query performed by your navigation control.

“DocumentPageTitle,
DocumentPageKeywords”

HideControlForZeroRows

Indicates whether the control should be hidden when no data is loaded. Default value is False.

HighlightAllItemsInPath

Indicates whether the control highlights all items on the visitor’s current path.

SubmenuIndicator

Path to an image displayed next to every menu item that contains sub-items.

UseAlternatingStyles

Indicates whether the control uses alternating styles for even and odd items on the same menu level.

UseItemImagesForHiglightedItem

Indicates whether the control uses the item image if the highlighted image is not specified.

WordWrap

Indicates whether text displayed by the control uses word wrapping. If disabled, text that is too long is replaced by ‘nbsp’.

ZeroRowsText

Text shown when the control is hidden by the HideControlForZeroRows property.

“No records found.”

CheckPermissions

Indicates if the control checks the permissions of the user viewing the page. If the value is false (default value) no permissions are checked.

If true, the control only loads pages for which the user viewing the page has read permissions.

ClassNames

Specifies which page types the control loads and displays. Identify page types through their code names, separated by semicolons (;).

You can use the * wildcard as a substitute for any number of characters. For example Product.* includes the page types Product.Camera, Product.CellPhone, Product.Computer etc.

If the property is left empty, the control retrieves all page types by default. In the case of menu and navigation controls, only CMS.MenuItem pages are loaded by default.

Note: If the control loads all page types (empty value), only the common data columns from the View_CMS_Tree_Joined view are available in the retrieved data. The specific fields of individual page types are not included. You need to keep this in mind when writing the code of transformations, WHERE conditions, ORDER BY expressions etc.

“cms.news”
“cms.news;cms.article”

CombineWithDefaultCulture

Indicates whether the control loads pages from the website’s default culture version if the required pages are not available in the user’s selected culture.

Only applies if you do not set the TreeProvider property manually.

CultureCode

Specifies the culture code of the pages that the control loads. If not specified, the control automatically uses the preferred culture of the user viewing the page.

“en-us”

DataSource

Allows you to manually assign a DataSet or DataTable containing the pages that the control displays. You do not need to set this property for standard scenarios.

FilterOutDuplicates

Indicates if the control filters out duplicated (linked) pages from the data.

MaxRelativeLevel

Specifies the maximum number of content tree sub-levels from which the control displays pages. This number is relative, i.e. counted from the location of the page where the control is placed, not from the root of the website.

Enter -1 to load all child pages.

Path

Path of the pages that the control loads.

See: Writing page path expressions

SelectOnlyPublished

If enabled, the control only loads published pages.

TreeProvider

Gets or sets the TreeProvider object used by the control to access page data. If you do not assign a TreeProvider object, the control automatically creates a new instance.

CacheDependencies

List of the cache keys on which the control’s cached data depends. When the specified cache items change, the control clears its cache.

Each item (dependency) must be on one line.

If you leave this property empty, the control uses default dependencies.

cms.user|all

CacheItemName

Sets the name of the cache key used to store the control’s content. If you leave the value empty, the system generates a default name containing variables, such as the control ID, the selected culture and the name of the user who loaded the page.

The system cache is shared by all pages in your application, so cache item names representing different data must be unique globally. If you have multiple controls that load the same data, you can share the cache keys between the controls (optimizes loading of content and avoids redundant data in the cache).

If the content displayed by the control depends on variables, such as URL parameters, you can set a custom name dynamically in the page’s code behind.

“CMSRepeaterNews” +
Request.QueryString[“id”].ToString()

CacheMinutes

Sets the number of minutes for which the control caches content retrieved from the database.

• 0 indicates that control does not cache content
• -1 indicates that the control uses the site-level content caching settings

Allows you to set up caching of content so that the control doesn’t have to retrieve content from the database on each request.

The caching mechanism uses absolute expiration time. This means that cache items expire after a specified time period even if the page containing the control wasn’t requested.

FilterControl

Gets or sets the filter control used to limit the data read by the control.

FilterName

Gets or sets the code name of the filter control used to limit the data read by this control.

OrderBy

Gets or sets the ORDER BY clause of the SQL query that the control uses to load data.

“NewsReleaseDate DESC”

SelectedColumns

Database table columns that the control loads for pages, separated by commas ( , ). If null or empty, the control loads all available columns.

SiteName

Specifies the code name of the Kentico website for which the control loads data.

StopProcessing

If true, the control stops all processing — does not load or display any data or other HTML output.

TopN

Specifies the maximum number of database records that the control loads.

WhereCondition

Gets or sets the WHERE clause of the SQL query that the control uses to loads data.
