IT Hit WebDAV Ajax Browser Custom Columns -

i looking @ trial of ajax browser control ithit. far seems pretty responsive when comes pulling files across http protocol.

what want @ point have details view pull custom properties excel workbooks. efficient way connect c# code gets custom properties ajax control display correct values?

the easiest way create custom column return custom property webdav server. in example below server returns price in pricesns:retailprice property.

on client side define custom column , specify custom property name , namespace:

{     id: 'mycolumn1',     custompropertyname: 'retailprice',     custompropertynamespace: 'pricesns',     text: 'retail price',     width: '150px' } 

another approach return html formatter function specified column. have full control on being displayed in case.

you can find more details , example in article: http://www.webdavsystem.com/ajaxfilebrowser/programming/grids_customization/

in case webdav server running on hit webdav server engine, return requested property, must implement ihierarchyitem.getproperties method (or asynchronous counterpart):

public ienumerable<propertyvalue> getproperties(ilist<propertyname> names, bool allprop) {     if (allprop)     {         return getpropertyvalues();     }      list<propertyvalue> propvals = new list<propertyvalue>();     foreach(propertyname propname in names)     {         if( (propname.namespace == "pricesns") && (propname.name == "retailprice") )         {             // depending on item return different price,             // here sake of simplicity return 1 price regerdless of item             propvals.add(new propertyvalue(propname, "100"));         }         else         {             ...         }     }     return propvals; }
