PatternSearch with Session Variable

[Kurt Kluth]

I would like to filter the FileExplorer results by combining a Session variable id and the remainder of the string.  

We have a IssueID and a issue may have files associated with it.  Once a supporting document file is uploaded it will have "<issueID>_" appended to the front, ie. 1009_myfile.txt.  I need the search pattern to be something like Session("IssueID") & "_*.*".  

How do I go about doing this?  

Here is code the client-side control

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" runat="server"
    EnableCreateNewFolder="false" Height="225" Width="890" EnableAsyncUpload="false">
    <Configuration ViewPaths="/SupportingDocs/" DeletePaths="/SupportingDocs/" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>

 

Tried the following in my code behind in the Page Load to no avail.  

Dim searchPatterns As String() = RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.SearchPatterns
searchPatterns = Session("IssueID") & "_*"
RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.SearchPatterns = searchPatterns

It is now figured out as I simplified the code:

RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.SearchPatterns = New String() {Session("IssueID") & "_*.*"}

Hi Kurt,

I am glad you have find how to configured the target behavior. Another possible option would be to filter the files (and folders in this case) like demonstrated here:
