How to add navigation widget to master page

I can't find any documentation on how to add widgets, in my case the navigation control, to a master page. I cannot add a contentplaceholder and use the CMS because the markup resides in a user control that I have on multiple master pages. So I need a way to add it manually to the user control.

Can someone please help? 

Are you trying to add a control to a file in your solution?

this can be done, you just have to add the namespace for the navigation to your control:

Thanks for the reply.

Ahh. I was trying to use RadSiteMap but couldn't figure out the proper datasource so I started messing around with sitemap module to bind it to... turned into a big pain.


Thanks.
