SiteMap allows you to add ToolTips to each node.

In the Designer

1. Right click the SiteMap control and select Properties.
2. Add text to the ToolTip property, for the entire SiteMap control.
3. Open SiteMap Tasks Menu and select Edit Nodes. This opens the C1SiteMap Designer Form.

You can select any node and set the ToolTip property for every node.

In Source View

Set the ToolTip property within the <cc1:C1SiteMap> tag, to add a ToolTip to the entire control, as shown below:

<cc1:C1SiteMap ID="C1SiteMap1" runat="server" ToolTip="This is a SiteMap Control" ShowNodeLines="true" DataSourceID="C1SiteMapDataSource1">

Set the ToolTip property in the <cc1:C1SiteMapNode> tag, to add ToolTip to a single node, as shown below:

<cc1:C1SiteMapNode runat="server" Text="C1SiteMapNode1" ToolTip="This is a Node Tooltip">

In Code

Add the following code to the Page_Load event, to add a ToolTip to the entire control.

To write code in C#

C1.SiteMap1.ToolTip = "SiteMap Control";

To write code in Visual Basic

C1.SiteMap1.ToolTip = "SiteMap Control"

Add the following code to the Page_Load event, to add a ToolTip to individual nodes.

To write code in C#

C1SiteMap1.Nodes[0].ToolTip = "Parent1";
C1SiteMap1.Nodes[0].Nodes[0].ToolTip = "child1";
C1SiteMap1.Nodes[1].ToolTip = "parent2";

To write code in Visual Basic

C1SiteMap1.Nodes(0).ToolTip = "Parent1"
C1SiteMap1.Nodes(0).Nodes(0).ToolTip = "child1"
C1SiteMap1.Nodes(1).ToolTip = "parent2"

What You've Accomplished

When you run  the project, hover the mouse over SiteMap nodes. Notice that a tooltip appears on the node.
