The SiteMapDataSource control is a data source to the site map data that is stored by the site map providers that are configured for your site. The SiteMapDataSource enables Web server controls that are not specifically site navigation controls, such as the TreeView, Menu, and DropDownList controls, to bind to hierarchical site map data. You can use these Web server controls to display a site map as a table of contents or to actively navigate a site. Alternatively, you can use the SiteMapPath control, which is designed specifically as a site navigation control and therefore does not need an instance of the SiteMapDataSource control.
