Automatically create an XML sitemap using routes and controllers in ASP.NET MVC

Question

Is it possible to automatically create an XML sitemap for search engines, iterating routes and action dispatcher actions? If you could give me an idea or so, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Answer 1

You have a gander in ASP.NET MVC SiteMap provider - MvcSiteMap .

I did not use it myself, so I can not vouch for it, but he was thinking about spring when I read your question.

, sitemap.xml.

    1     /// <summary>
    2     /// This attribute indicates that a method is an actual page and gives the data for it
    3     /// </summary>
    4     [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited = true, AllowMultiple = false)]
    5     public class MVCUrlAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
    6     {
    7         public string Url { get; private set; }
    8 
    9         public MVCUrlAttribute(string url)
   10         {
   11             this.Url = url;
   12         }
   13 
   14         public override void OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext filterContext)
   15         {
   16             string fullyQualifiedUrl = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + this.Url;
   17             // We build HTML here because we want the View to be easily able to include it without any conditionals
   18             // and because the ASP.NET WebForms view engine sometimes doesn’t subsitute <% in certain head items
   19             filterContext.Controller.ViewData["CanonicalUrl"] = @"<link rel=""canonical"" href=""" + fullyQualifiedUrl + " />";
   20             base.OnResultExecuting(filterContext);
   21         }
   22     }

    3             // Find all the MVC Routes
    4             Log.Debug("*** FINDING ALL MVC ROUTES MARKED FOR INCLUSION IN SITEMAP");
    5             var allControllers = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes().Where(t => t.IsSubclassOf(typeof(Controller)));
    6             Log.DebugFormat("Found {0} controllers", allControllers.Count());

    8             foreach (var controllerType in allControllers)

   19                         Log.Debug("Found " + controllerType.Name + "." + publicMethod.Name + " <– " + url);
   20                         allPageUrls.Add(url);
   21                     }
   22                 }
