Exactly one siteMapNode element is required directly inside.

This is my sitemap:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<siteMap>
 <siteMapNode url="authendicate.aspx" title="Home">
    <siteMapNode title="Employee Manage"  description="Managing Employee details">
      <siteMapNode
               url="NewEmployeeDetails.aspx"
               title="New Employee"
               description="new employee details" />
      <siteMapNode
               url="EmployeeDetails.aspx"
               title="EmployeeDetails"
               description="employee details" />
    </siteMapNode>
    <siteMapNode
        url="EmployeeDetails.aspx"
        title="Activation"
        description="Activate and deactivate employee" />
  </siteMapNode>
  <siteMapNode title="Leave Manage"  description="Managing Leave details">
      <siteMapNode
               url="ApplyForLeave.aspx"
               title="ApplyForLeave"
               description="Apply For Leave" />
      <siteMapNode
               url="ViewLeaveRequest.aspx"
               title="ViewLeaveRequest"
               description="View Leave Request" />
    </siteMapNode>
 </siteMap>

and this is my codebehind file to call sitemap:

private SiteMapDataSource GetSiteMapDataSource()
   {
       XmlSiteMapProvider xmlSiteMap = new XmlSiteMapProvider();
       System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection myCollection = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection(1);
       myCollection.Add("siteMapFile", "Web.sitemap");
       xmlSiteMap.Initialize("provider", myCollection);
       xmlSiteMap.BuildSiteMap();
       SiteMapDataSource siteMap = new SiteMapDataSource();
       return siteMap;
   }

can anybody help?.
Thanks.

You need to wrap all your site map nodes inside one site map node. i.e Your sitemap file should look like this:

<sitemap>
  <sitemap>
    <sitemapnode url="authendicate.aspx" title="Home">
      <sitemapnode title="Employee Manage" description="Managing Employee details">
        <sitemapnode>
                 url="NewEmployeeDetails.aspx"
                 title="New Employee"
                 description="new employee details" />
        <sitemapnode>
                 url="EmployeeDetails.aspx"
                 title="EmployeeDetails"
                 description="employee details" />
      </sitemapnode>
      <sitemapnode>
          url="EmployeeDetails.aspx"
          title="Activation"
          description="Activate and deactivate employee" />
    </sitemapnode>
    <sitemapnode title="Leave Manage" description="Managing Leave details">
      <sitemapnode>
               url="ApplyForLeave.aspx"
               title="ApplyForLeave"
               description="Apply For Leave" />
      <sitemapnode>
               url="ViewLeaveRequest.aspx"
               title="ViewLeaveRequest"
               description="View Leave Request" />
    </sitemapnode>
  </sitemapnode></sitemapnode></sitemapnode></sitemapnode></sitemapnode></sitemap>
</sitemap>

Solution 1

You forgot to close the first <siteMapNode> tag. You need to add </siteMapNode> before </siteMap>

No, the xml seems correct to me. Try to copy it in any XML editor, it is correct.

Ah yeah you're correct, so the mistake is having two children of sitemap.
