• false - the path to the current folder within the path box is relative to the root folder.

Note

The UseAppRelativePath property is not in effect if the root folder is outside the application.

fm.Settings.RootFolder = Url.Content("~/Content/FileManager/Files");
fm.Settings.ThumbnailFolder = Url.Content("~/Content/FileManager/Thumbnails");
fm.Settings.InitialFolder = Url.Content("~/Content/FileManager/Images");
fm.Settings.AllowedFileExtensions=new String[] { ".jpeg", ".jpg", ".gif", ".png" };
fm.Settings.UseAppRelativePath=true;

C#

@Html.DevExpress().FileManager( settings => {
    settings.Name = "fileManager";

    settings.Settings.ThumbnailFolder = Url.Content("~/Content/FileManager/Thumbnails");
    settings.Settings.RootFolder = Url.Content("~/Content/FileManager/Files");
    settings.Settings.InitialFolder = "~/Content/FileManager/Images";
    settings.Settings.AllowedFileExtensions= new String[] { ".jpeg", ".jpg", ".gif", ".png" };
