FileExplorer Bug?

[Adriana Stamat]

Hello, I have the latest FileExplorer version (trial).
I want to use a simple FileSystem explorer.
If I set the InitialPath, ViewPaths, UploadPaths, DeletePaths in code (c#), like this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

string

 

path = "~/Fisiere/";

 

RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ContentProviderTypeName =

typeof(FileSystemContentProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName;

 

 

RadFileExplorer1.InitialPath = path;

RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ViewPaths =

new string[] { path };

 

 

RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.UploadPaths =

new string[] { path };

 

 

RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.DeletePaths =

new string[] { path };

 

 

RadFileExplorer1.EnableOpenFile =

true;

 

 

RadFileExplorer1.EnableCopy =

true;

 

 

RadFileExplorer1.DisplayUpFolderItem =

true;

 

 

RadFileExplorer1.AllowPaging =

true;

 

 

RadFileExplorer1.EnableCreateNewFolder =

true;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it doesn't work (I can't upload, delete, create folder)

but if I set these properties like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" Runat="server">

 

 

<Configuration ViewPaths="~/Fisiere/" UploadPaths="~/Fisiere/"

 

 

 

 DeletePaths="~/Fisiere/" /> </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

----------------------------------------------------

 

 

it works. I want to be able to set these properties in code (read from web.config)
Thank you.

Hello Adriana,

We are aware of such a behavior in the current official release (2009.3 1314) and we already fixed it in the 2010 Q1 (still BETA) version of the control. The problem is caused by the fact that the InitialPath is set before setting the ViewPaths, DeletePaths and UploadPaths properties. The problem can be easily avoided by setting the InitialPath property later in the code as shown bellow:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string path = "~/Root/";
    RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ContentProviderTypeName = typeof(FileSystemContentProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName;
 // Original code: RadFileExplorer1.InitialPath = path;
    RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ViewPaths = new string[] { path };
    RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.UploadPaths = new string[] { path };
    RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.DeletePaths = new string[] { path };

 // Moved here:
    RadFileExplorer1.InitialPath = path;
}

I hope this helps.

All the best,
Fiko
