    Help creating a database driven breadcrumb trail

    Hi,

    Can someone give me a starting point, as I can't figure this out myself.

    I want to create a breadcrumb trail on a site, but instead of being
    generated by cookies or a directory structure, it needs to be database
    driven. My website details hundreds of products, each belonging to a
    category. Each category can belong to a parent category, and so on.

    My site will feature master/detail pages, and both need to feature a
    trail, e.g.

    Books > Hobbies > Sport > Football

    The master page will list all items within the current category, and the
    trail will allow the user to click to any parent category for a wider
    listing.

    The detail page will show the item detail, along with a full trail to
    the category/parent categories it belongs to.

    The category structure will grow over time, and different branches will
    have different number of levels so it needs to be maintainable.

    Anyone give me a little help starting?


    Many TIA,

    Red.

      I googled "asp -net breadcrumb navigation database" (without the
      quotes), and found several articles that provide a good starting point.
