Finally I made it. After struggling with many different things during past 2 months, scattered from developing custom courseware for SharePoint 2007 developer, custom adapter for Biztalk Server 2006, or even custom ribbon for Office 2007 .

All of those things are quite interesting and blow up my adrenaline. But to be frankly, it made my ASP.NET skills a little obsolete. I need to catch up again with alot of new things on the future web area: Silverlight, Orcas, Popfly. They are waiting to be explored.

Back to my writing, this is the 4th tutorial I made for ASP.NET 2.0. I wrote those labs manual based on several existing materials as the referrence. I went to MSDN website, digging my Teched 2006 DVD, and sometimes build my own sample code. This installment is about playing with web site navigation and do security trimming on it. It is a continuation of my previous writings about security control in ASP.NET.

Normally a developer spend alot of time to develop consistent navigation, giving same look and feel across many pages. Thanks to ASP.NET master page, XML, and XML data source. It makes navigation configuration exteremely easy and fast. If you want to add new menu, just add new XML element in sitemap file. Do the same thing for disable or enable the menu for content targeting. We also able to make automated profile using profile database. But I save the ASP.NET profile and personalization for my next writing.
