Problem with folder names with # and &

[Loy Chan]

I'm using a Custom File Content Provider (copied from the knowledge base).

Everything works fine except the following situations:

1. Folder name contains # or & (i.e. "Store #123")
2. User double clicks file within this folder to view the file
3. Within the FileSystemHandler.ashx file, the ProcessRequest function is called but the path of the file gets cut off at the # or & symbol

So when the code gets to the WriteFile call, it fails since it can't find the file.

Suggestions?

try to encode the path. In JavaScript you can use the encodeURI() function

Hi,

Could you please provide a little bit more info? The FileExplorer is a bit of a black box for me.

When the user tries to open the file, I can catch this client side event with OnClientFileOpen event but where can I encode the path that eventually gets sent to the FileSystemHandler.ashx ProcessRequest method?

 // Tell browser to open file directly
  var requestImage = encodeURI("Handler.ashx?path=" + item.get_url());

Hi Mihir,

Thanks for all your help. I was able to get it running with your direction.

Here's what I had to use:

        function ClientFileOpen(oExplorer, args)
        {
           var item = args.get_item();
           
           if (!item.isDirectory())
           {
               args.set_cancel(true); //this prevents the window from opening    
               var docLoc = encodeURIComponent(item.get_path());
               document.location = "FileSystemHandler.ashx?path=" + docLoc;
           }
        }
