Alternative to Item.ItemPropertyFileNameSubFolder property in Tridion 2011 SP1 - tridion

In one of our implementation of TBB we are using ItemPropertyFileNameSubFolder property of Item.We are migrating our application from 5.3 sp1 to Tridion 2011 Sp1 and the property ItemPropertyFileNameSubFolder doesnot exist in the latest version. The code snippet we are using is as below
// Handle subfolder (todo: fix this, ItemPropertyFileNameSubFolder does not exist!!
string subFolder = GetPropertyValue(item, Item.ItemPropertyFileNameSubFolder);
if (subFolder != "") {
if (subFolder.StartsWith("/")) {
// Strip of leading /
subFolder = subFolder.Substring(1);
}
if (!subFolder.EndsWith(PathSeparator)) {
// Ensure there is always a separator at the end
subFolder += PathSeparator;
}
fileName = subFolder + fileName;
}
This basically retrieve the subfolder path from the property and prefix the filename with the value. Could you please provide me any alternative or workaround for the same.
Thanks
Rajendra

This property was optional to begin with and might not even been set, which probably doesn't happen anyway otherwise you would have had an exception there.
You might as well leave it out, or (additionally) use Item.ItemPropertyFileNamePrefix when this prefix was not used already.

ASP.NET MVC Reference script file with version wildcard (without bundling)

In a ASP.NET MVC 4 project, I'd like to reference a versioned script file like this:
// Just some pseudo-code:
<script src="#Latest("~/Scripts/jquery-{0}.min.js")"></script>
// Resolves to the currently referenced script file
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
so that when a new Script version is updated via NuGet, the reference is updated automatically. I know of the bundling-and-minification feature, but it's just to much. I just want the little part which resolves the wildcards. My files are already minified, and also I don't want the bundles.
Do you have some smart ideas how to solve this?
Even though it's a little over kill to use the Bundling in MVC, but I think that will be your best bet. It's already been done and proven so why spend more time to write some proprietary code.
That being said, if you want a simple sample of what you can do, then you can try the following.
public static class Util
{
private const string _scriptFolder = "Scripts";
public static string GetScripts(string expression)
{
var path = HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath;
var files = Directory.GetFiles(path + _scriptFolder).Select(x => Path.GetFileName(x)).ToList();
string script = string.Empty;
expression = expression.Replace(".", #"\.").Replace("{0}", "(\\d+\\.?)+");
Regex r = new Regex(#expression, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (var f in files)
{
Match m = r.Match(f);
while (m.Success)
{
script = m.Captures[0].ToString();
m = m.NextMatch();
}
}
return script;
}
}
This will return you the last match in your Scripts director or it will return empty string.
Using this call
#Html.Raw(MvcApplication1.Util.GetScripts("jquery-{0}.min.js"))
Will get you this result if 1.8.2 is the last file that matched your string.
jquery-1.8.2.min.js
Hope this will help you get started.

virtual path change

I want to change Virtual Path(The path is out of project means local system or Server.) of the file Which is save on the folder in asp.net.
Code is
DataTable dtFiles =
GetFilesInDirectory(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(UPLOADFOLDER));
gv.DataSource = dtFiles;
gv.DataBind();
if (dtFiles != null && dtFiles.Rows.Count > 0)
{
double totalSize = Convert.ToDouble(dtFiles.Compute("SUM(Size)", ""));
if (totalSize > 0) lblTotalSize.Text = CalculateFileSize(totalSize);
}
private static string UPLOADFOLDER = "D:/Uploads";
And the error show "D:/Uploads is not a valid virtual path.".
If you want to get the files in a directory and you know the full path, then you don't need to use Server.MapPath(). Just use the path.
Incidentally, the path delimiter is incorrect in your code. The string "D:/Uploads" should be #"D:\Uploads" (note the leading # sign to denote a string that should be treated literally and not escaped).
Of course. You're telling your server to map path that is completely off the IIS. How is it supposed to do? If you're using a web application, try to avoid such ideas completely. Even though it is possible, it isn't a good idea because of security issues you can run into.

Is there a way to get ALL the MIME types instead of wrinting a huge case statement?

I want to populate
Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
From somewhere in the server/web/dictionary ALL possible MIME types according to file extension:
public string GetMimeType(string extension)
{
//This is what I am looking for.
}
Also, I have to rename the file (at least if going to be downloaded, so I have to know in advance if it's going to be opened or not.
You can store the mimetype when the file is uploaded ( FileUpload.PostedFile.ContentType ) and send that when the file is requested.
Umm... why? You're not going to be returning content of every possible type, are you?
Here's a list of common types: http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/mime-types.shtml. There is no list that would include "ALL" types simply because any application vendor can create a custom one and associate it with a custom extension.
It's going to depend on your platform. Here's one for C# and IIS: http://blog.crowe.co.nz/archive/2006/06/02/647.aspx
In Powershell it's a one-liner:
([adsi]"IIS://localhost/MimeMap").MimeMap
The code in the link posted by Richard:
// Maintain a sorted list to contain the MIME Types
SortedList sl = new SortedList();
Console.WriteLine("IIS Mime Map - c#");
Console.WriteLine();
// Serve to connect to...
string ServerName = "LocalHost";
// Define the path to the metabase
string MetabasePath = "IIS://" + ServerName + "/MimeMap";
// Note: This could also be something like
// string MetabasePath = "IIS://" + ServerName + "/w3svc/1/root";
try
{
// Talk to the IIS Metabase to read the MimeMap Metabase key
DirectoryEntry MimeMap = new DirectoryEntry(MetabasePath);
// Get the Mime Types as a collection
PropertyValueCollection pvc = MimeMap.Properties["MimeMap"];
// Add each Mime Type so we can display it sorted later
foreach (object Value in pvc)
{
// Convert to an IISOle.MimeMap - Requires a connection to IISOle
// IISOle can be added to the references section in VS.NET by selecting
// Add Reference, selecting the COM Tab, and then finding the
// Active DS Namespace provider
IISOle.MimeMap mimetypeObj = (IISOle.MimeMap)Value;
// Add the mime extension and type to our sorted list.
sl.Add(mimetypeObj.Extension, mimetypeObj.MimeType);
}
// Render the sorted MIME entries
if (sl.Count == 0)
Console.WriteLine("No MimeMap entries are defined at {0}!", MetabasePath);
else
foreach (string Key in sl.Keys)
Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", Key.PadRight(20), sl[Key]);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
if ("HRESULT 0x80005006" == ex.Message)
Console.WriteLine(" Property MimeMap does not exist at {0}", MetabasePath);
else
Console.WriteLine("An exception has occurred: \n{0}", ex.Message);
}
// Convert to an IISOle.MimeMap - Requires a connection to IISOle
// IISOle can be added to the references section in VS.NET by selecting
// Add Reference, selecting the COM Tab, and then finding the
// Active DS Namespace provider
According to my googling: (lost the links, sorry)
The "Active DS IIS Namespace Provider" is part of the IIS installation.
After you install IIS you will see that in the list of options.
If you don't see it should be located at C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\adsiss.dll.
To install IIS:
click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, Add or Remove Windows Components, select Internet Informatoin Services (IIS).
Most of the code I've seen uses some combination of these:
using System.IO;
using System.DirectoryServices; // Right-click on References, and add it from .NET
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Collections;
using IISOle;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
The Active DS Namespace might be under the COM tab when adding the reference.
I've written a small class based on the webmaster-toolkit.com list. This is to avoid using COM and the IIS route or any IIS references.
It uses an XML serialized list which contains about 400 mimetypes, so is usually more than enough unless you have really obscure mimetypes. In that case you can just add to the XML file.
The full solution can be found here. Here's a sample:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var list = MimeType.Load();
MimeType mimetype = list.FirstOrDefault(m => m.Extension == "jpg");
}
}

Add filter to FileUpload Control

How to add filter to the fileupload control in asp.net? I want a filter for Word Template File (.dot).
You could also do a javascript alternative to filtering it server side (you'd probably want to do that as well) but this saves the client from spending the time waiting on an upload to finish just to find out it was the wrong type.
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/upload-filter.html
So basically you just run a javascript function on submit that parses off the extension of the uploaded file and gives them an alert if its not of the right type.
You could also use document.forms[0].submit(); instead of passing the form reference through (as ASP.NET really only uses a single form (unless your doing something funky))
string fileName = fuFiles.FileName;
if(fileName.Contains(".dot"))
{
fuFiles.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/Files/" + fileName));
}
If you mean to filter the file extensions client/side, with the standard browser's file selector, isn't possible.
To do that you have to use a mixed type of upload, such as SWFUpload, based on a flash uploader system (that's a really nice techinque: it allows you to post more than a file at time).
The only thing you can do in standard mode is to filter the already posted file, and I suggest to use System.IO.Path namespace utility:
if (Path.GetExtension(upFile.FileName).ToUpper().CompareTo(".DOT") == 0)
{
/* do what you want with file here */
}
Check the filename of the uploaded file serverside:
FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName
Unless you want to use java or something similar on the client, there's really not much you can do for filtering uploaded files before they're sent to the server.
Here I have a small method that I used to filter which types of files can be uploaded by the fileupload control named fuLogo.
if (fuLogo.HasFile)
{
int counter = 0;
string[] fileBreak = fuLogo.FileName.Split(new char[] { '.' });
logo = Server.MapPath("../Images/Logos/" + fileBreak[0] + counter.ToString()+ "." + fileBreak[1]);
if (fileBreak[1].ToUpper() == "GIF" || fileBreak[1].ToUpper() == "PNG")
{
while (System.IO.File.Exists(logo))
{
counter++;
logo = Server.MapPath("../Images/Logos/" + fileBreak[0] + counter.ToString() + "." + fileBreak[1]);
}
}
else
{
cvValidation.ErrorMessage = "This site does not support any other image format than .Png or .Gif . Please save your image in one of these file formats then try again.";
cvValidation.IsValid = false;
}
fuLogo.SaveAs(logo);
}
basically, I first Iterates through the directory to see if a file already exists. Should the file exist, (example picture0.gif) , it will increase the counter (to picture1.gif). It prevents that different users will overwrite each other's pictures should their pictures have the same name.

Getting the mime w/o using urlmon

I was using urlmon to find the MIME of files however it didnt go well when i couldn't get the correct mime of css files and more SWFs. What can i use to get the file mime?
Hmm, I am not sure I completely understand your question, but if you want to do some sort of look up against a master list you can look at the IIS Metabase
using (DirectoryEntry directory = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://Localhost/MimeMap")) {
PropertyValueCollection mimeMap = directory.Properties["MimeMap"];
foreach (object Value in mimeMap) {
IISOle.MimeMap mimetype = (IISOle.MimeMap)Value;
//use mimetype.Extension and mimetype.MimeType to determine
//if it matches the type you are looking for
}
}
