[Solved] Auto-create Missing Folder

[Chris Miller]

Our FileExplorer looks for a folder called /uploaded-files/. Is there a way to auto-create this folder if it doesn't exist?

Hello Nik,

  In your scenario I recommend you to use this approach:

• Set the path(s) dynamically in the Page_Load event
• Check whether the path(s) that will be set to the RadFileExplorer's VIewPaths property already exists:
  Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath(virtualPath))
  
• If the path does not exist then create it :
  Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath(virtualPath))

The code should look like similar to this:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim viewPaths As String() = New String() {"~/ROOT"}
    If Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath(viewPaths(0))) Then
        System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath(viewPaths(0)))
    End If

    ' "~/ROOT" already exists
    RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ViewPaths = viewPaths
End Sub

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
