Visibility & resourceKey question

[lgoudriaan]

How can I set visibility on a MvcSiteMapNodeAttribute?

And how can I localize using the resourceKey?

Visibility is a custom attribute. You can set it on MvcSiteMapNodeAttribute using the Attributes property. Note that due to limitations of .NET attributes, it is set using a JSON string (see #266).

[MvcSiteMapNode(Title = "Some Page", Attributes = @"{ ""visibility"": ""MenuHelper,!*"" }")]

As for implicit localization, see #228. It is currently only possible if using an external DI container and implementing ISiteMapCacheKeyGenerator. I wouldn't recommend using implicit localization because of its uncertain future - it will either be dropped entirely or redesigned in the next version.

Thanks for the fast response!
Now I get this error when adding the attributes property:

The node with key 'debtors' may not add a route value with the key 'visibility' and value 'MenuHelper,!*' to the RouteValues dictionary because the key is a reserved name. Reserved names are keys that are meant for use internally by MvcSiteMapProvider rather than a dictionary value.

ps. I use VB

This is due to a bug in the RouteValues collection - it was not passing the throwIfReservedKey argument when adding the Attributes, which was causing the error. It has now been fixed in v4.6.3, which will be available on NuGet in a few minutes.

Thanks again!
