Today I was looking to roll my own site map. Nothing special – just wanted to display the content in a SPTreeView. The code is fairly basic:
...
PortalSiteMapProvider portalSiteMap = new PortalSiteMapProvider();
portalSiteMap.IncludePages = PortalSiteMapProvider.IncludeOption.Always;
portalSiteMap.IncludeHeadings = false;
portalSiteMap.EncodeOutput = true;
...
The problem was when I ran the code, the site would not come back (well one time I waited long enough until it timed out). I also noticed the DW20.exe process was running – not good.
After digging around, I soon realized my nodes, at least node[0] had errors.
An error occured while rendering navigation for requested URL: /SITES/INTRANET. Exception message: Request for the permission of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.SharePointPermission, Microsoft.SharePoint.Security, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' failed.

at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider.GetChildNodes(PortalSiteMapNode node, NodeTypes includedHiddenTypes)
Then I get a BUNCH (at least until I kill the process) of these errors in the logs:
PortalSiteMapProvider was unable to fetch children for node at URL: /SITES/INTRANET, message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object., stack trace: at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapNode.GetNavigationChildren(NodeTypes includedHiddenTypes) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider.GetChildNodes(PortalSiteMapNode node, NodeTypes includedHiddenTypes)
The problem was I did not have the correct permissions. Temporarily giving the site Full trust solved the issue. Need to review the CAS but the SharePointPermission class had already been added and it does not work. Sigh!
