AIDirectoryViewer – Restricting the viewable folders


1/2/2007

Developers can restrict access to private or undesirable folders in the Directory Viewer by using the FolderExclusionsList property.

Thus folders such as Recycler, Program Files etc.. which are undesirable can be completely invisible to the end user hence protecting the file system from unwarranted access or manipulation.

This exclusion list is basically a generic collection of AIExclusions each of which makes up a directory path to exclude. This property is extremely handy for folders with huge numbers of sub folders or folders which are undesirable. E.g. Recycler, Windows..

We have included C:\\RECYCLER, C:\\WINDOWS folders as default. See design time component property for more info.
