How can I use the FilePickerUploader in a custom module?

I've tried setting the .FileID to the file and I've tried setting the FilePath, but nothing seems to work.  Can someone give me an example?

I'm still having troubles. Here's my example:

In my database table I have a string field name "ImageFileNo". I have set the value to "FileID=25". When I load the record from the file and extract the "ImageFileNo" value and parse out the integer value 25. I then set the ctlBackground.FileID = 25, but I'm still not seeing the image at runtime and the path doesn't change either. Any ideas?


<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="FilePickerUploader" Src="~/controls/filepickeruploader.ascx" %>

ctlBackground.FilePath = portal.BackgroundFile;
ctlBackground.FileFilter = Globals.glbImageFileTypes;
ctlBackground.FileID = 25;

There are a number of issues with using the file picker in your own custom controls - in our experience we have found that its NOT a module that you should try to drop directly onto a .ascx file as a control.

Part of the reason for this - is that the control actual instantiates other controls inside itself BEFORE you are able to set some of the properties yourself,

Drop a placeholder control on you ascx page - thisPlaceHolder:

var userControl = Page.LoadControl("~/controls/filepickeruploader.ascx");
            DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnFilePickerUploader _fileControl = userControl as DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnFilePickerUploader;

            if (_fileControl != null)
            {
                _fileControl.ID = thisTarget;
                //     _fileControl.FileFilter = "jpg,jpeg,gif,png";
                _fileControl.FileFilter = thisFileFilter;

                _fileControl.UsePersonalFolder = true;
                _fileControl.User = thisUser;

                if (!Page.IsPostBack)
                {
                    _fileControl.FilePath = filePath;
                    _fileControl.FileID = thisValue;
                }
                //Add table to Control

                thisPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(_fileControl);

            }
