The SiteMapPath (also known as breadcrumb) control is a navigation control that allows the user to know the current page location with respect to the home page. It renders as a hyperlinks or images that is separated by a path separator that is specified via its PathSeparator property.
Note that this control uses a SiteMap File to detect the location of the current page, hence if you try to navigate to a page that is not included in the SiteMap File, the control will not be displayed.

The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.
The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
