[Solved] Pass extra fields from Upload dialog to custom content provider StoreFile() method

[Felipe Casanova]

How do I pass the retrieved extra values from my Upload dialog to my Custom content provider's StoreFile method? I see there is a string[] arguments parameter but how do I set this value?

protected void RadFileExplorer1_ItemCommand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadFileExplorerEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Command == "UploadFile")
    {
        Telerik.Web.UI.RadFileExplorer explorer = sender as Telerik.Web.UI.RadFileExplorer;
        Telerik.Web.UI.RadUpload upload = explorer.Upload;

        //e.Path holds the file path
        string name = e.Path.Split(new char[] { '/' }).Last(); // get the filename including extension ;

        foreach (Telerik.Web.UI.UploadedFile uploadedFile in upload.UploadedFiles)
        {
            if (name.Equals(uploadedFile.GetName()))
            {
                string fileName = uploadedFile.GetName();
                string imageSize = uploadedFile.GetFieldValue("imageSize");

                // would like to pass imageSize to StoreFile method...

                break;
            }

        }
    }
}

Hi Matt,

I have already answered to your question in this forum thread. For convenience I will paste my answer here as well.

In order to pass the arguments to the StoreFile() method you need to cancel the default execution of ItemCommand event and manually call the method, e.g.:

FileSystemContentProvider _contentProvider = null;
private FileSystemContentProvider ContentProvider
{
    get
    {
        if (object.Equals(this._contentProvider, null))
        {
            this._contentProvider = new FileSystemContentProvider(this.Context,
                                            RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.SearchPatterns,
                                            RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ViewPaths,
                                            RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.UploadPaths,
                                            RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.DeletePaths,
                                            string.Empty,
                                            string.Empty);
        }
        return this._contentProvider;
    }
}


void RadFileExplorer1_ItemCommand(object sender, RadFileExplorerEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Command == "UploadFile")
    {
        //.........
        foreach (UploadedFile uploadedFile in upload.UploadedFiles)
        {
            if (name.Equals(uploadedFile.GetName()))
            {
                string[] arguments = new string[] { "argument1", "argument2" };
                explorer.InitialPath = this.ContentProvider.StoreFile(uploadedFile, explorer.CurrentFolder, uploadedFile.GetName(), arguments);

                //.......
            }
        }
    }
}
