Thank you for your time in responding to my query.
Here is an example how I figured it would work ... Note the "Target"
tag's on the url's that are PDF's
<siteMapNode title="Lakeridge - Home Page" description=""
url="LakeridgeWater.aspx">
<siteMapNode title="Articles of Incorporation" description=""
url="Articles.aspx" />
<siteMapNode title="Minutes for 2006" description="" >
<siteMapNode title="September 2006" description=""
url="minutes0912.pdf" target="_blank"/>
<siteMapNode title="August 2006" description=""
url="minutes0806.pdf" target="_blank" />
<siteMapNode title="July 20, 2006" description=""
url="minutes0720.pdf" target="_blank"/>
<siteMapNode title="July 11, 2006" description=""
url="minutes0711.pdf" target="_blank"/>
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode title="Bylaws" description="" url="bylaws.aspx" />
<siteMapNode title="Plot Map" description="" url="plotmap.aspx" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
I do not want it at the Treeview level. That means that all the
sitemapnodes will open up in a new window. I need to be able to pick
and choose what the target is.
I have some documents that are PDF documents, I need to open them up in
a new window so I do not loose the navagation.
I tried your sample code on my master page (I use vb not c#, sorry).
If I could get this to work, then I could set the e.Node.Target =
"_blank" if the url ends with "PDF". But, I could not get it to work.
It looks like you can overide the sitemap at databound time, but it
did not execute.
Protected Sub MyTreeView_TreeNodeDataBound(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As TreeNodeEventArgs)
If e.Node.NavigateUrl = "" Then
e.Node.Target = "_blank"
End If
End Sub
I put a breakpoint here but it did not stop on this subroutine. I put
this on the masterpage, is there somewhere else to put it?
re:
What am I missing? The only place I saw the target tag was at the treeview level.

For all TreeView nodes, you can set
MyTreeView.Target = "_blank"; // or any other target
for only some of them, you can use the TreeNodeDataBound event:
protected void MyTreeView_TreeNodeDataBound(object sender, TreeNodeEventArgs e)
{
if( e.Node.NavigateUrl == "[URL]" ) // get only this one item
e.Node.Target = "_blank"; // or any other target
}

re:
Does anyone have a work around for this Design Flaw?
Why do you consider that a "design flaw" ?
Which functionality do you think is missing ?
I can't beleive that Microsoft would create the whole Sitemap XML
datasource process but not have a TARGET tag. What am I missing? The
only place I saw the target tag was at the treeview level. Please tell
me that something this basic is at the siteMapNode level and not the
Treeview level?
Does anyone have a work around for this Design Flaw?
