Will

That seems to be user documentation. Is there any developer documentation?

What is the property to ready the select file and file path from the control?

Thanks

Simon

Re: Select a file under the Portal root

Ok, I'm getting somewhere.

I can see that the ctlFileBrowser.Url gives me the only useful info which is Fileid=150.

Now I just have to work out how to find out what file that relates to.

Re: Select a file under the Portal root

For all those wanting to know how to do it (or at least one solution) I ended up checking the urlcontrol.ascx and getting the control names of the dropdownlists

So I can do

CType(ctlFileBrowser.FindControl("cboFolders"), DropDownList).SelectedItem.Text to get the folder, and
CType(ctlFileBrowser.FindControl("cboFiles"), DropDownList).SelectedItem.Text to get the file

Sorry that I didn't get back to you in time. I would have suggested that. I am glad you figured it out - and more importantly, posted it for all to see. Thanks! :)
