Hi,

The FileExplorer does not do anything about authentication. If your application is properly authenticated, it will be able to access the file/directory. Otherwise it will not be able to.

Thanks!

Hi.

My application is autenticated but I want to list only the folders that are accessible by certain users. It's possible that.

Thanks!

Hi,

As already pointed out in the previous post, the FileExplorer does not do anything about authentication. So it will always list all files visible to your application. If your application can only see files that are accessible by certain users, then FileExplorer will only see those files. If your application can see all files, then FileExplorer will see all files. In short, FileExplorer sees whatever your application sees.

However FileExplorer is built on top of a list of other controls, specifically the TreeView control and the Grid control. You can use those two controls independently to implement a solution to view the files based on users. Both the TreeView and Grid control are UI controls. So you will need to write the code to populate them. That also means you have full control over what's shown by the control.

Thanks!

Hi

How I can configure the control FileExplorer from the code behind (PathMappings) and how I can open external archive.

Thanks!
