  As part of the site's page structure, I want to include a header on the page that shows the name of the page's grand-parent.
  
  Any suggestions on how to do that?
  
  Thanks.

  Hello Tim,
  
  Here is a code I quickly wrote to show you the concept of the Sitemap and its nodes, as well as Sitefinity page structure:
  

  CmsSiteMapNode siteNode = (CmsSiteMapNode)SiteMap.Provider.CurrentNode;

  foreach (CmsSiteMapNode childNode in siteNode.ChildNodes)

  {

  if (childNode.CmsPage.ParentID != null)

  {

  CmsManager manager = new CmsManager();

  IPage parentPage = manager.GetPage(childNode.CmsPage.ParentID);

  Response.Write("My parent is :" + parentPage.Name);

  break;

  }

  }

  
  The code is showing the parent page of the page. The same way you can take the parent of the parent. You can also use recursion and limit it to the level of depth you want.
  
  I hope this helps.

  Hi Ryan,
  
  You can put it inside Page_Load of your control.
