I'm using a RadFileExplorer control to allow users to browse folders and files on the site. I want them to be able to view only certain extensions, so I'm using the .Configuration.SearchPatterns property to successfully control what they can view. I want them to be able to view about 15 different types of files and that's working great. I only want them to be able to upload 13 of those types (no .aspx or .asp files, please). I can keep those types of files from uploading in the .ItemCommand, but when the user chooses to upload a file, it indicates that they can upload .aspx and .asp files in the upload dialog box under the File externsions allowed.
How can I change this list so it doesn't show those two extensions?
I'd imagine this can't be that uncommon of a situation, so my suggestion is that in a future update you add a .Configuration.UploadAllowedFileExtensions option that would be handed to the .Upload control

I wound up changing the upload text to remove listing those two extensions, but they still can upload those files - right now, I'm just catching it on the back end.

Hi Edward,
At present, it is not possible to configure RadFileExplorer do allow upload of file types different that displayed file types. To achieve the required functionality you can use the following approach:
For your convenience I have attached a sample page implementing the above mentioned approach.

- Configure RadFIleExplorer to display the required file types - by setting SearchPatterns property
- Handle RadFileExplorer's ItemCommand server-side event and cancel it if the uploaded file is not the correct type.
- On the client handle the upload dialog and manually modify the info panel's text to remove unwanted extensions.
For your convenience I have attached a sample page implementing the above mentioned approach.

Hello, Dobromir.
I just came across this issue myself. Is your attached workaround still the recommended method for Edward's (and my) functionality?
Thanks.
