Would this be helpful:
CREATE FUNCTION GetCategoryTrail
(
@p1 int
)
RETURNS nvarchar(1000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Result nvarchar(1000)
SELECT @Result = CASE [parentcategoryid] WHEN 0 THEN [Name] ELSE dbo.GetCategoryTrail([parentcategoryid]) + ' > ' + [Name] END
FROM [Category]
WHERE [Id] = @p1
RETURN @Result
END
GO
SELECT [Id], [Name], dbo.GetCategoryTrail([Id]) AS [Trail]
FROM [Category]
Thanks for that and it is working!
I'm little confused, how do I can show
Computers->Desktops->Acces
When I click Accessories from sitemap or breadcumps, that will show accessories items
and when I click on the desktop, it should show the desktop items.. whether I should write asp.net routing?
Im aware of how to show the items based on the category id via datalist/gridview...

I'm not sure what you're asking, it sounds like you want to DataBind a label the same way you do with a grid? I'd have to see a bit more of your current page and/or code (showing the connection and category selection) to try to show you a way to do this in the same way, I would normally use a piece of code in the page load that reads the result of a SQL command using the current category id as parameter but maybe you're using 'asp:' tags to bind the data?
let me simplify
Let say I have menu where categories are being displayed, which is hardcoded in jquery, div tags
Under computers Menu category I have Accessories link, when the user click the Accessories.
after above menu, the display should show Computers ->Desktops->Accessories
All the computer, desktop, accessories, are individual hyperlinks
Hope you understood, and im going to second
2nd requirement, based on the above requirement:
when I click any of above computer-> desktop->, accessories , I will fetch the data based on the category code in the datalist...
Pls let me know, if it is not clear...

I think both requirements can be met by having the function return html links:
ALTER FUNCTION GetCategoryTrail
(
@p1 int
)
RETURNS nvarchar(1000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Result nvarchar(1000)
SELECT @Result = CASE [parentcategoryid]
WHEN 0 THEN '<a href="yourpage.aspx?catid=' + convert(nvarchar, [Id]) + '">' + [Name] + '</a>'
ELSE dbo.GetCategoryTrail([parentcategoryid]) + ' > ' + '<a href="yourpage.aspx?catid=' + convert(nvarchar, [Id]) + '">' + [Name] + '</a>'
END
FROM [Category]
WHERE [Id] = @p1
RETURN @Result
END
GO

Here's one way to work with the output generated by the function as changed in my previous post. Note that I used the pagename and querystringparameter name to match the arbitrary examples I used.
