Easy way to get selected file?

Hi,

Just about to purchase the component, wonder if there is an example of how to get the path & name of the currently selected file?

Cheers

For FileUltimate v3.x, you can use this to get the selected file name on the client-side:

    var fileName = fileManager.GridView.GetSelectedFirstRow().GetCellValue(fileManager.GridView.columns.Name);

where "fileManager" is the control ID as in <GleamTech:FileManager ID="fileManager"> tag.
If you need to get multiple selected items then you can use this to get an array of file names:

    var fileNames = fileManager.GridView.GetSelectedCellValues(fileManager.GridView.columns.Name);

You can get the path with 

    var path = fileManager.CurrentFolder.Path;

Note that this path is relative to the root folder. You are not allowed to get the physical path on the client-side for security reasons.
If you really need the physical path then first you should also get rootfolder index and instance id:

   var rootFolderIndex =  fileManager.CurrentFolder.RootFolderIndex;
   var instanceID = fileManager.Parameters.InstanceID;

and then you should pass these 3 variables (instanceID, rootFolderIndex and path) to the server side to generate the physical path:

   FileManagerState state = FileManager.GetState(instanceID);
   FileManagerRootFolder rootFolder = state.RootFolders[rootFolderIndex];
   string physicalPath = rootFolder.MapPath(path);
