I'm trying to adapt the MvcSiteMapProvider to create a palette based on some information stored in a database.

The answer in this posted promisingly, so I implemented my own SiteMapNodeProvider. But then I didn't know how to connect everything, so the new implemented SiteMapNodeProvider is used instead of the static xml file ("Mvc.sitemap").

As I use SimpleInjector in my project, I named the install method in the already existing initialization code Injection.

 public static void Initialize()
    {
        Injection.Global = new Container();
        InitializeContainer(Injection.Global);
        Injection.Global.RegisterMvcControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
        Injection.Global.RegisterMvcAttributeFilterProvider();
        Injection.Global.Verify();
        DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new SimpleInjectorDependencyResolver(Injection.Global));
    }

    private static void InitializeContainer(Container container)
    {
        // Setup configuration of DI
        MvcSiteMapProviderContainerInitializer.SetUp(container);

        //... register some other stuff for my project here ...
    }

      

        
        
        
      

    

The MvcSiteMapProviderContainerInitializer class is created by the package: 'Mvcsitemapprovider.mvc4.di.simpleinjector / 4.4.5'

Does anyone know what to do to get my project to use the newly created SiteMapNodeProvider? I couldn't find any documentation about this in the official doc ...

edit: I tried what you suggested (even removed the old DI stuff and only used the one from the nuget package) but still I get errors ... here is what I have in my MvcSiteMapProviderContainerInitializer

but still I am getting the following exception:

Constructor The DynamicSiteMapNodeBuilder type contains a parameter of type ISiteMapNodeCreator named 'siteMapNodeCreator' that is not registered. Make sure the ISiteMapNodeCreator is registered with the container or modify the DynamicSiteMapNodeBuilder constructor.
