This is the manual on robots.txt, please see it http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/robots.shtml[^].

If cannot see why could you ever be interested in mentioning your sitemap URL in this file. Just the opposite.

Sitemap: http://mysite/googleSitemap.aspx

Good.

First, two days many be too soon, cannot tell you exactly.

What is that reference? It's not any real site.
Can you explain to us why would you want to mention your sitemap URL in robots.txt. What do you want to achieve. I fail to see any sense in it.
