FileSystemProviderBase.GetFiles(FileManagerFolder) Method

Override this method to implement getting a collection of files that are located in the current folder.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual IEnumerable<FileManagerFile> GetFiles(
    FileManagerFolder folder
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Function GetFiles(
    folder As FileManagerFolder
) As IEnumerable(Of FileManagerFile)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
folder	FileManagerFolder	A FileManagerFolder object that is the folder currently being processed.

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerable<FileManagerFile>	A collection of FileManagerFile objects.

Remarks

Note

The GetFiles method is called twice when you switch between folders if you use the File Manager with a custom file system provider. This is caused by a specificity of the ASP.NET life cycle.

If you create a custom file system provider inherited from the FileSystemProviderBase class, you should override the GetFiles method to get a collection of files that are located in the current folder.

Example

C#

    }

    public DbFileSystemDataContext DataContext { get { return dataContext; } }

    // Used to decrease the number of recursive LINQ to SQL queries made to a database
