newbie: problems with SiteMapProviders

hey

asp.net 2.0

My problem is that no matter what SiteMapProvider I specify in the code, it
always uses defaultProvider SiteMapProvider. In other words if I make these
changes to the SiteMapDataSource1:
<siteMap defaultProvider="Anonymous">
The menu which is based on this SiteMapProvider get menu items from the
Anoymous SiteMapProvider... But SiteMapDataSource1.SiteMapProvider is set to
"LoggedIn"

<siteMap defaultProvider="LoggedIn">
<providers>
<add name="LoggedIn" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
siteMapFile="LoggedIn.sitemap"/>
<add name="Anonymous" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
siteMapFile="Anonymous.sitemap"/>
</providers>
</siteMap>

<LoggedInTemplate>
<asp:Menu ID="mnuHeader" runat="server" BackColor="#F7F6F3"
DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"
DynamicHorizontalOffset="2" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="0.8em"
ForeColor="#7C6F57"
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="0" Orientation="Horizontal"
StaticDisplayLevels="2"
StaticSubMenuIndent="10px" Style="z-index: 100; left: 0px; position:
absolute;
top: 0px" OnMenuItemClick="mnuHeader_MenuItemClick" Width="900px">
<StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px"
/>
<DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#7C6F57" ForeColor="White" />
<DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" />
<StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" />
<DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px"
/>
<StaticHoverStyle BackColor="#7C6F57" ForeColor="White" />
<DataBindings>
<asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="SiteMapNode"
NavigateUrlField="Url" TextField="Title" />
</DataBindings>
</asp:Menu>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server"
SiteMapProvider="LoggedIn" />
</LoggedInTemplate>

I even tryed this example:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/li...426(d=ide).aspx :
<siteMap defaultProvider="XmlSiteMapProvider">
<providers>
<add name="LoggedIn" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
siteMapFile="LoggedIn.sitemap"/>
<add name="Anonymous" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
siteMapFile="Anonymous.sitemap"/>
</providers>
</siteMap>

But then I get this error:
Parser Error Message: The provider 'XmlSiteMapProvider' specified for the
defaultProvider does not exist in the providers collection.

If the SiteMapDataSource1.SiteMapProvider is set to "LoggedIn", then I want
it to use the "LoggedIn" SiteMapProvider, not use what is specified as the
defaultProvider.

Any suggestions on how to solve this are very welcome

It was my own mistake, doing modification to the wrong master page. I have 3
master pages in my project: Frontpage.master, MasterPage.master and
ContentMaster.master. MasterPage and ContentMaster are very similar but
MasterPage isn't used in the project. So here I accidently did modifications
to MasterPage and wondered why I didn't see the changes when I tested the
web portal.... But after a while I discovered that it was the ContentMaster
I used...

I also have to add that I made some modifications to the SiteMapProvider
settings in web.config:
<siteMap defaultProvider="AspNetXmlSiteMapProvider">
<providers>
<add name="LoggedIn" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
siteMapFile="LoggedIn.sitemap"/>
<add name="Anonymous" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
siteMapFile="Anonymous.sitemap"/>
</providers>
</siteMap>

Previously I used "LoggedIn" or "Anonymous" as defaultProvider. Then I read
that defaultProvider had to be something else if it was going to work. So I
tryed "AspLoggedIn", because I've seen in a example where someone used
"AspNetXmlSiteMapProvider".. But that didn't work... But then I tryed using
"AspNetXmlSiteMapProvider" and it works now
