Remarks

An item’s metadata are key-value pairs of string and object types, respectively. The item’s metadata can be specified using the FileManagerItemProperties.Metadata property and an appropriate FileManagerFile or FileManagerFolder constructor. To access the item’s metadata, use the FileManagerItem.Metadata property.

To obtain the item’s metadata, use the following methods:

• the FileManagerItemMetadata.GetAllKeys and FileManagerItemMetadata.GetValueByKey methods to get the metadata keys and values, respectively, on the server side;
• the ASPxClientFileManagerItem.GetMetadata method (on the client side if the FileManagerSettings.EnableClientSideItemMetadata property is set to true).
