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
