Using a physical path

[WCRA Dev]

From reading this forum it looks like the code below should allow me to use a physical path for the RadFileExplorer but instead I get this error message:  'C:/Test2' is a physical path, but a virtual path was expected.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        string[] viewPaths = new string[] { @"C:\Test2", @"\\CHRISTIAN_KING2\Test1" };

        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ViewPaths = viewPaths;
    }

}

Hello Christian,


Please check the KB Article which shows how to use RadFileExplorer with physical and shared folder's paths.

Yes, that's where I got this code from but it doesn't seem to work.

Here is the modifications I made to the MappingFile.mapping file.  Is the name MyCusomRootDir or MySharedRootDir supposed to be reference somewhere?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<CustomFileBrowserProvider>
  <Paths>
    <genericHandlerPath>FileSystemHandler.ashx</genericHandlerPath>
  </Paths>
  <Mappings>
    <Mapping>
      <PhysicalPath>
        <![CDATA[C:\Test1]]>
      </PhysicalPath>
      <VirtualPath><![CDATA[MyCusomRootDir 1/]]></VirtualPath>
    </Mapping>
    <Mapping>
      <PhysicalPath>
        <![CDATA[\\CHRISTIAN_KING2\Test1]]>
      </PhysicalPath>
      <VirtualPath><![CDATA[MySharedRootDir/]]></VirtualPath>
    </Mapping>

  </Mappings>
</CustomFileBrowserProvider>

Never mind, I figured it out.

Hi can you tell me what you did to fix this as I have the same problem with the same bit of code.
