If you make the Breadcrumbs control use the site map, is there a way
to not show certain things that can be visible in the site map, but
not in the main navidation menu?

I ask, as I have an item on my menu: Organisations

I click that, and I can edit the Org, or I can select a branch from a
grid. The bread crumbs should just show, 'Organisations'.

When I select a branch, the breadcrumbs should then read Organisations
> Branch.

I don't want a user to be able to navidate directly to a branch from
the main menu. I am new to ASP.net, but I was told that we would need
2 site maps. That seems wrong.

Is there a way for this to work?

You can programmatically adjust which nodes the breadcrumb and menu controls
display at runtime by navigating their object models and node collections
and adding/removing nodes as necessary.
But likely the only way to handle this situation declaratively (purely at
design time) would be to use 2 site maps.
