Sorry added the provider to the web.config but was not sure how it gets loded to the menu

could you show me an example of using it in the skin?

I get an error that value can not be null - not even sure what that really means

Here is what i did - I copied the solpart menu navigation provider nto a new project and linked up the dotnetnuke dll to it

then in the bind i put a simple test to see if this logic would work

For Each objNode In objNodes

                           If CheckNode(CType(objNode.ID, Integer)) = True Then

;;;;;;;Continue normal processing etc

Check node is a simple function that will check for a node of a certain known id and hide it if it come through
