Asp .net menu same node selected by more than one file
I would like to be able to select one node in a menu with more than one file.
Lets say I have a menu with two nodes, details and contact.
Detail node points to details.aspx and contact node points to contact.aspx.
I now have a third page called DetailPreview.aspx.
You can get to this page from a link in the detail.aspx.
I want the detail menu node to be selected once I get to DetailPreview.aspx.
I don't want to use server.transfer when I go from Detail.aspx to DetailPreview.aspx.
I dont want anothe node pointing to the detailpreview.aspx
Any solution????
^Thanks

This is my Sitemap:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="~/Default.aspx" title="Home">
<siteMapNode url="~/Details.aspx" title="Details" />
<siteMapNode url="~/ContactUs.aspx" title="Contact Us" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
and my menu:
<asp:Menu ID="MainMenu" runat="server" Orientation="Horizontal" MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="2"
DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" DynamicEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False">
<StaticMenuStyle CssClass="menu" />
<StaticMenuItemStyle CssClass="menuItem" />
<StaticSelectedStyle CssClass="menuSelectedItem" />
<DynamicMenuStyle CssClass="menuPopup" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle CssClass="menuPopupItem" Font-Strikeout="False" />
<DynamicHoverStyle CssClass="menuPopupItem" />
<StaticHoverStyle CssClass="menuItemHover" />
</asp:Menu>
You will need to write your own menu component and probally also your own XmlSitemapProvider. This is not default functionality.

The standard components are very straight forwarded. As soon as you want something different, it most likely won't fit your needs.
