HI all,
I am exploring the infragistics web controls and i want to know how do we use the webtree control to display the file system on the server. I don't want to display the entire file system structure, but a structure within a specific drive or folder.
e.g. the root folder for my application "MyApp" and contains other folders..
MyApp
l___Folder1
l___file1
l___file2
l___Folder2
l___Folder3
How can I display this by using the webtree control.
I would really appriciate your help on this.
Thank you in advance.
Have you achieved this and quick question is i am looking for this to be load on demand i.e. just show all the root folders with + and then when the user clicks on it we need to get the subdirectories.
Please kindly let me know
Regards
Raghu
An example would be very helpful...
Thank you.
Well in Page_Load you can enumerate your file system using the .NET System.IO.Directory class and call EnumerateDirectory() and EnumerateFiles(). After you have that info you have to start adding new Nodes to the tree by:
DataTreeNode dtn = new DataTreeNode();
dtn.Text = file name/directory name;
WebDataTree1.Nodes.Add(dtn) ;
Of course you have to traverse the Nodes collections so that you properly create the file system hierarchy.
In order to display folders and files image in front of each node you have to specify the following NodeSettings in the markup:
<NodeSettings ParentNodeImageUrl="DirectoryImage.png" LeafNodeImageUrl="FileImage.png" />
Hope this helps.
