Setting ViewPaths to Server (or Absolute) Paths

[Joshua]

My web app hosts files for individual uses in separate paths on the server.  These paths are not in the web app's subdirectory; they're located on attached storage via drive letters.  Is there anyway to set the ViewPaths to these directories?

When I do so as expressed in the online examples, I, of course, get an invalid virtual path exception.

Any pointers, or is this not possible?

Thanks,
Joshua

Hi Joshua,

Please, review the following KB article on the subject: Uploading images and files to a Shared Drive.

Another approach is to implement your custom file system content provider that will be able to read the files for physical resources or virtual folders outside of the web application:

public class MyContentProvider : Telerik.WebControls.RadEditorUtils.FileSystemContentProvider
 {
        public MyContentProvider(HttpContext context, string[] searchPatterns, string[] viewPaths, string[] uploadPaths, string[] deletePaths, string selectedUrl, string selectedItemTag) : base(context, searchPatterns, viewPaths, uploadPaths, deletePaths, selectedUrl, selectedItemTag)
        {
        }

        public override string StoreFile(HttpPostedFile file, string path, string name, params string[] arguments)
        {
           
        }
    }

    private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        RadEditor1.FileBrowserContentProviderTypeName = typeof(MyContentProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName;
    }
