List of Sub Sites and Workspaces

Question

I would like to create a list of Project Sites and links to pages, on the Projects site. To contents of Sites and Workspaces.

This process should be automatic when you establish a new project site, the list will include a new entry in the list of projects.

I do not know as you pull a list of pages.

example:

1. Home Page

   • Projects

     • Project 1
     • Project 2
     • Project 3
     • Project 4

Answer 1

If you planned on having your own control hosting it you could rely on the out-of-the-box site map providers already used by various navigation controls like Top navigation, Quick launch bar, which get automatically populated. In the master there is already something like this:

<asp:SiteMapDataSource
              ShowStartingNode="True"
              SiteMapProvider="SPSiteMapProvider"
              id="topSiteMap"
              runat="server"
              StartingNodeUrl="sid:1002"/>

Note that StartingNodeUrl value sid:1002 indicates QuickLaunchBar and sid:1025 is used for TopNavigationBar which give different output nodes. Then you could data-bind these to any Tree-view control or ASP Menu, or actually anything that could data-bind to a IHierarchicalDataSource (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.ihierarchicaldatasource(v=vs.90).aspx)
