Hi Arnaud!

Do you also know how I could set globalization with a treeview created by XML files? I've two languages (German, French). I want the treeview also to be changed if I switch language. Have a look to my existing code. This is the source for the XML file.

<asp:XmlDataSource ID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="menu/documents/documents_menu_de.xml"></asp:XmlDataSource>

Now I think I have to replace the parameter in the DataFile and make an inquiry in the C# Code behind that checks which language is selected and then choose the right xml file. I am right?

Thank you very much for help!! Andi

Lots of forum mentioned problem with Menu not refreshing but all label translating ok eventhough InitializeCulture is set with a PageBase etc..., set the viewstate of the sitemap to false and menu will refresh too !
