FileVistaControl Example 1

This example demonstrates adding FileVistaControl to the page by using <GleamTech:FileVistaControl> tagPrefix.

                <GleamTech:FileVistaControl
            ID="FileVistaControl"
            runat="server"
        
                    Style="width: 800px; height: 600px"
        
                    Language="de-CH"
        
                    LicenseKey="k0r64Bq87NBWuEcj1wWW9QxDXQa2A+lf2R+KGZM="

                    Debug="false"

                              Fullscreen="false"

                        UploadMethod="Flash">

                    <RootFolders>

                        <GleamTech:FileVistaRootFolder
            Name="Test Root Folder"
        
                Path="d:\files"

                Permissions="Full"

                           AllowedFileTypes="*.jpg;
                    *.gif"
        
                    />

                        <GleamTech:FileVistaRootFolder
            Name="Test Root Folder 2"
        
                Path="/"
        
                Permissions="Traverse,
                List, Download"

                Quota="2000
                KB"/>

                    </RootFolders>

                </GleamTech:FileVistaControl>

Style property is used for setting dimensions and position of the control with CSS attributes. The control can be also absolutely positioned with attributes like "position:absolute; left:200px; top:300px;".
Language property defines the language of the user interface. If the property is set to a specific culture like "de-CH" (German in Switzerland), the control will first look for the language file de-CH.xml and if the file is not found, it will load the general language file of that culture which is de.xml. If omitted, current culture of the application is tried to be loaded and if the culture itself or its fallback not found, "en" is used finally.
LicenseKey property should be set to the purchased license key for unlocking the trial version. If omitted, the control will run in trial mode.
Debug property should be set to "true" for running the control in debug mode which will enable detailed error messages for troubleshooting. If omitted, the control will run in production mode.
Fullscreen property should be set to "true" for resizing the control to fit the browser window.
UploadMethod property can be set as Browser or Flash. Flash upload is a better method as it allows you to select multiple files at once in the file selection dialog where browser upload allows you to select only one file at a time. If omitted, flash upload is used by default. Note that there is a fallback mechanism, ie. even if it is set to Flash and if Shockwave Flash plugin does not exist in user's browser then the method will be degraded to Browser upload automatically so the user will always be able to upload files.
Root folders are added by using <GleamTech:FileVistaRootFolder> tagPrefix inside <RootFolders> tag.
- Name property should be set to the display name of the root folder. This property is required and can not be omitted.
- Path property should be set to the actual path of the root folder. It can be a virtual (/webfolder/test), physical (d:\files) or network (\\server\share) path. This property is required and can not be omitted.
- Permissions property should be set as Full or ReadOnly or a combination of Traverse, List, Create, Delete, Rename, Edit, Upload, Download, Compress, Extract, Cut, Copy, Paste permissions. Given permissions should be separated by comma. If omitted, the root folder will be completely inaccessible.
- Quota property should be given in SIZE KB/MB/GB format. If omitted, the quota will be unlimited.
- AllowedFileTypes property accepts a semi-colon separated list of file extensions (eg. "*.doc; *.xls") that are allowed to be uploaded to the root folder. If omitted, any file type (ie. "*.*") is allowed. Note that you can also define the allowed file names and not the extensions only. For instance, you can use * in any part of the filename such as "picture*.jpg" which matches "picture34.jpg" or "picture 112.jpg" or use it in the extension such as "*.jp*" which matches "file.jpg", "file.jpe" or "file.jpeg"
