.LoadContentFile("~Layouts/MJTree/TreeData.xml") --> Could not find part of the path

[Bob]

m_RadTreeFolderHierarchy.LoadContentFile("~Layouts/MJTree/TreeData.xml")

Results in:

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\ISD\~Layouts\MJTree\TreeData.xml'.

Hi Bob,

Is this: ~Layouts a real name of the folder or you have forgotten to put the slash character like:
m_RadTreeFolderHierarchy.LoadContentFile("~/Layouts/MJTree/TreeData.xml")

I want to pull images from here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\Images

But using the syntax, it tries to pull from here:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\Layouts\Images

Hello Bob,

Have you tried using the Server.MapPath ?
You can also try using the full path like:

m_RadTreeFolderHierarchy.LoadContentFile(@"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\\MJTree\TreeData.xml")

I guess you meant the xml file, not the images in your last post?

Kind regards,

Using vb.net, the @ is showing as an invalid character.  If I remove it, it compiles, but...

Now it says:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\\MJTree\TreeData.xml" is not a valid virtual path.

Hi Bob,

As far as I understand:

1. Your project files are located here: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80
2. The content xml file for the treeview is here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\\MJTree\TreeData.xml

If this is true, you need to do the following:

1. In IIS, under your application create a virtual folder that points to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\\MJTree
Let's call it: Layouts

2. Call the LoadContentFile method:

RadTreeView1.LoadContentFile("~/Layouts/TreeData.xml");


I hope this helps.

All the best,

That did the trick.  Also, I was able to copy the images to the site collection image folder, and use the url as the imageurl.

Thank you!
