Using the BreadCrumb Server Control
WARNING!
NOTE
Add the BreadCrumb Server Control to each Web form for which
you want to create a breadcrumb trail. Follow these steps to use
the BreadCrumb Server Control.
It is recommended that you do not add a BreadCrumb Server Control to a Web
form that contains a Calendar Server Control. When both server controls appear
on the same page and a site visitor clicks on different months, the BreadCrumb
trail could look like this: Calendar > Calendar > Calendar > Calendar > Calendar.
This happens because each time a site visitor clicks on a month, you are in effect
opening a new Web form.
1. Open a Web form for which you want to create a breadcrumb
trail.
2. Drag and drop the BreadCrumb Server Control onto an
appropriate location of the Web form.
3. Set the DisplayTitle property. See ”DisplayTitle” on page 228.
To customize the look of your breadcrumb trail, configure the other properties. For
more information, see”BreadCrumb Server Control Properties” on page 227.
4. Save the Web form.
5. Repeat steps one through four for all Web forms to be included
in the breadcrumb trail.
6. Open a browser.
7. View a Web page with a BreadCrumb Server Control in it.
8. Navigate to the rest of the Web pages that contain
BreadCrumb Server Controls.
