Subject: Photo Album Menus
Posted By: Tremmorkeep Post Date: 8/15/2006 9:38:38 AM
I love this book so far, but I have a question for you gurus.  I'm a photographer.  rather than uploading one picture at a time I'd love to be able to just upload each new event as a folder.  What I *want* to do is to have my menu's created from the folders in the 'pictures' folder.  When a person clicks onto a folder, have the control reset the clicked folder as the root folder and create a new menu.  Maybe a treeview or asp:menu.  You cant set the DataSource = to a DirectoryInfo[], because of an error:

"HierarchicalDataBoundControl only accepts data sources that implement IHierarchicalDataSource or IHierarchicalEnumerable."

Has anyone here got any experience in this kind of thing?

Hi there,

You may want to take a look here: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/020106-1.aspx

It shows how to build a file system site map that can be used in a TreeView or other navigation controls. It lists files with an .aspx extension, but it shouldn't be hard to change the behavior for either just folders, or pictures.

Cheers,

Imar
