Force empty directory

[Marco]

Hello,

My explorer root directories are based upon a user managed config file. It can happen that the directory is incorrect/removed whatever. this creates an ugly error;
How can I show a userfriendly message that the directory does not exist?
And/or how can I force the explorer to show an empty directory?

I tried
return new DirectoryItem("Invalid directory", string.Empty, "/", "tag", PathPermissions.Read, null, null);
but that shows the root directory.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Marco,

I recommend you to perform a check in the Page Load event and if a directory does not exists then clear the paths set to RadFileExplorer and then set only the ones that really exists. :

• You can clear the RadFileExplorer's pats by clearing the TreeView's nodes. This will cause the new  paths (set in the next step) to be populated:
  

  RadFileExplorer1.TreeView.Nodes.Clear();

• Then set the paths again, avoiding the incorrect ones
• Show a message to the client using Scriptmanager.RegisterStartupScrip method

I hope this helps.

I didn't think of that.
I'll give it a try.
Thanks
