Editor in grid image manager paths

[Sauge]

Hi there

I am trying to set the image manager paths, in an editor, in a template column of a radgrid from code behind like this:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs)
        If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem And e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
            Dim editor1 As RadEditor = e.Item.FindControl("Radeditor1")
            Dim UserId As String

            UserId = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey.ToString()

            editor1.ImageManager.ViewPaths = New String() {"~/images/users/" + UserId + "/uploads"}
            editor1.ImageManager.DeletePaths = New String() {"~/images/users/" + UserId + "/uploads"}
            editor1.ImageManager.UploadPaths = New String() {"~/images/users/" + UserId + "/uploads"}
            editor1.ImageManager.EnableAsyncUpload = True
            editor1.ImageManager.SearchPatterns = New String() {"*.jpeg", "*.jpg", "*.bmp", "*.gif", "*.png"}
        End If

    End Sub


Please could someone tell me what am I doing wrong here

Hi Sauge,

The latest moment of the page life cycle in which you can configure ImageManager's paths is the Page_Load event. Doing it in a later event it may bring many unexpected errors, causing the control not to function properly.

Could you move the configuration from the provided code snippet to the Page_Load event and see whether the problem still occurs?

Hi Veselina

Thank you for your response, but I am having trouble referencing the image manager from page load as the image manager is in an editor contained in a template column of a radgrid

Have you any idea how I can do this

Thank you in advance :-)

Hi Sauge,

You can access the image manager by obtaining a reference to the cell of the edit item and then using FindControl to locate the control.

editableItem["ColumnUniqueName"].FindControl("ImageManager")

More information on accessing cells and rows is available in this help article.

Additionally note that the PageLoad event is fired too early and the edit item may not be created. That said it would be best to show us the markup and relevant code-behind so we could provide a more precise answer.
