server-side programming not working

[Roland Koops]

 

If I specify viewpaths, uploadpaths, deletepaths, and SearchPatterns properties in the ASPX file, then the control works, i.e., the SearchPatterns are applied and I can upload files.

If I specify viewpaths, uploadpaths, deletepaths, and SearchPatterns properties in my code behind, then I have the following problems:

 

1. upload is not enabled;
2. delete button is not enabled; and
3. SearchPatterns are not applied.

I use version 2010.1.309.35.

ASPX:

    <telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="explorer" EnableViewState="true" Width="700px" Height="480px"  >
    <Configuration ViewPaths="~/Content/1/" UploadPaths="~/Content/1/" DeletePaths="~/Content/1/" MaxUploadFileSize="8000000" SearchPatterns="*.png" />
    </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

 

 

C#:

string[] paths = new string[] { "~/Content/2/", "~/Content/1/"};

explorer.Configuration.MaxUploadFileSize = 1024 * 1024 * 8; // 8Mb
explorer.Configuration.SearchPatterns = new string[] { "*.png", "*.jpg", "*.gif" };
explorer.Configuration.ViewPaths = paths;
explorer.Configuration.UploadPaths = paths;
explorer.Configuration.DeletePaths = paths;

Hi Roland,

We are not aware of such a problem. I tried to reproduce it on our side using the provided code snippets but to no avail. Could you please, open a support ticket and provide a sample runnable project that reproduces the problem so we can investigate it further?

For your convenience I have attached my sample text project and a movie demonstrating my test. You can also modify the project to the point where the problem occurs and send it back.

I have exactly the same problem.

I have followed your example and that works fine.  So does setting the configuration items in the aspx page itself. 

I have the control hidden to start with.  After clicking a button, I make it visible and set the config.  These changes do not update the files in the control.  I added another button to the page and when it is clicked after making the control visible and setting the config, the file explorer updates perfectly.

After reading a few more posts it appears that the config MUST be set in the load event handler.  If not, the control is not updated properly.  I cannot do this; it must be done in an event handler that is called AFTER the load event.  Is there something I am missing or is this a fairly important limitation?

Unfortunately I cannot attach zip files, but I have modified your default.apsx.cs. With some addition to the code the control does not work.

public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string[] paths = new string[] { "~/Content/1/", "~/Content/2/" };

        /* If this settings are set before the configuration settings the control does not work anymore */
        RadFileExplorer1.ExplorerMode = FileExplorerMode.FileTree;
        RadFileExplorer1.VisibleControls = FileExplorerControls.ContextMenus | FileExplorerControls.Toolbar | FileExplorerControls.TreeView;
        RadFileExplorer1.Language = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.Name;
        RadFileExplorer1.EnableCreateNewFolder = true;
        RadFileExplorer1.EnableOpenFile = true;

        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.MaxUploadFileSize = 1024 * 1024 * 8; // 8Mb
        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.SearchPatterns = new string[] { "*.png", "*.jpg", "*.gif" };
        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ViewPaths = paths;
        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.UploadPaths = paths;
        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.DeletePaths = paths;
    }
}

Hi Roland,

Thank you for the clarification. I was able to reproduce the problem and can confirm that this is a bug. I logged it into our PITS system and we will do our best to fix it for one of our upcoming releases. You can follow the PITS Issue by its ID: 1815

For the time being, as a workaround you can set UploadPaths and DeletePaths before setting EnableCreateNewFolder.

As a small token of gratitude I have updated your Telerik points.

Best wishes,

Was a solution ever created for this problem?  I'm trying to do the exact same thing within a dynamically loaded UserControl and getting the same results.

Never Mind, the problem wasn't with the control.  It was path related.
