SharePoint get names of all lists in a site

At first I thought portalsitemapprovider is a good option for this, but after searching a bit I realized that's not the case.

Search contents in a sharepoint site

There are several ways to fetch data from sharepoint 2010. Below are few of the most standard ones, however it is worth mentioning that the list does not include client object model or web services which are equally important aspects.

These methods can be used for:

1. Execute search queries
2. Get enumeration of list items, documents, lists, pages, etc.
3. Get navigation structure either with hidden objects included or without them
4. Iterate through all contents in SharePoint 2010 site

Subsites are sorted in global navigation

After creating a custom master page where subsite titles were automatically sorted alphabetically in global navigation menu and pulling out my hair for almost 3 hours I realised that the order can be changed in Site Settings -> Navigation page. Hmmm .. need to take a coffee break :-)

Sharepoint 2010 custom navigation provider

Created a custom navigation provider using this link

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/SharePoint-2010-Developing-5f0e73c2

but it retrieves all nodes from the root web in site collection so I had to configure the SiteMapDataSource object to show nodes only from current site as below

<asp:SiteMapDataSource ShowStartingNode="true" SiteMapProvider="MyCustomSiteMapProvider"

                                                ID="topSiteMap" runat="server" StartFromCurrentNode="true" StartingNodeOffset="0" />
