I have the URLControl on an edit page. Users may come back to this page and edit their entries over and over and over and over again. Each visit back to the page shows the URLControl is back to its default set up as though they never picked a file from it before. I assumed that the URL property took care of that, but maybe I'm wrong? So how does one set the URLControl so on return trips to the page it persists the data users selected previously? I have my values being stored in a column and returned in a public property.

 

Thanks and have a good weekend!

You'll need to set the URL for the control during the OnInit phase of the page/control lifecycle because it has some hard-coded stuff into PageLoad on the control that makes it impossible to change the URL later.  In a nutshell:

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    UrlControl1.Url = "someSetting"; // where some setting is whatever you have saved to your database from a previous UrlControl.Url reading
}

You can also change the type by setting UrlControl1.UrlType = "N" (none), "F" file, "U" user, "T" tabs
