Hi there everyone, I have a small problem,

Im creating a web app that uses master pages. the application has a set of pages that clients can access and they inherit from a Site.master. It also has a set of pages that employees can access which in turn inherit from Admin.master.

I have employed 2 sitemap files: Admin.sitemap and Web.sitemap. I have also used bread crumb controls in each master:

C#
<
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="smDS" ShowStartingNode="true" SiteMapProvider="adminSmProvider"  runat="server" />
                <asp:SiteMapPath ID="breadCrumb" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana" 
            Font-Size="0.8em" PathSeparator=" : "  >
                    <CurrentNodeStyle ForeColor="#333333" />
                    <NodeStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#284E98" />
                    <PathSeparatorStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#507CD1" />
                    <RootNodeStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#507CD1" />
        </asp:SiteMapPath>/pre>

and in site.master:

<pre lang="c#"><asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="smDS" ShowStartingNode="true" SiteMapProvider="smProvider"  runat="server" />
                <asp:SiteMapPath ID="breadCrumb" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana" 
            Font-Size="0.8em" PathSeparator=" : "  >
                    <CurrentNodeStyle ForeColor="#333333" />
                    <NodeStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#284E98" />
                    <PathSeparatorStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#507CD1" />
                    <RootNodeStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#507CD1" />
        </asp:SiteMapPath>


I have also placed thier providers in the web.config

XML
<system.web>
  <siteMap>
    <providers>
      <add name="adminSmProvider" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="~/Admin.sitemap"/>
      <add name="smProvider" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="~/Web.sitemap"/>
    </providers>


Now my issue is that while the breadcrumbs display in the pages that inherit from Site.master, it does not work on those which inherit from Admin.master. However I do not get any errors when I debug..

Any Ideas?
