[Solved] Set Root Node to Local C:\ or Server Folder.

[Rory]

Hi there is there any way to set the root node to a folder and let RadTreeView populate the subdirectories?

Hi Rory,

Have you looked at this online sample?

Hope it helps!

Yep I've seen that one it works great if your nodes are coming from the webserver i'm looking for a way to interact with the radtreeview with my local machine.

Hi Rory,

It is not possible to interact with the file system of the client machine. Your server-code executes on the server-side hence you have access only to the server file system. It may be possible to interact with client-side file system through IE specific JavaScript but this would introduce security risks.

I thought one of the demos was client side adding nodes to radtreeview.

Is there anyway to add a hierarchy of nodes or a node that has more info than just the title attribute?

If local won't work what about server shared folders. Could I link the radtreeview to a \\server\share?

Hello,

You state that "It is not possible to interact with the file system of the client machine". Is that still the case? I need to allow a user to select a "Path" from their local file system. Is there any way to us the "tree view" or "file explorer" to select directory path from the clients machine?

Hi JoeC,

No, this is not possible due to security reasons.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Thank you Veskoni. 

I solved my issue a different way. 

I had to chuckle a bit when I realized that what I was trying to do was what IE is trying to stop from happening.
