Question

User-1221966532 posted

 Hi,

How could I achieve to have a web control property, where I could browse the Project tree to select a file for an Image source, ie: I have a property called SinglePlusImage and if I click the property I get the same browsable tree as if you want to add a source to an asp:Image control and can choose from files added to the project?

Thanks

Try using following attribute above your property;

[System.ComponentModel.Editor(GetType(System.Web.UI.Design.UrlEditor)]

hi alisakhi,

thanks for your reply, which gave me the lead. It certainly was not complete, but was the information I was after and with a short google-ing found the right form of the Editor attribute.

I used the complete

[System.ComponentModel.Editor(typeof(System.Web.UI.Design.UrlEditor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]

public string ImageURL

{

get{...}

set{...} 

} 

version which is the file browsing editor usually seen in asp control properties.
