How to create a document-picker

Hi, trying to insert a property for chosing a document (not only image)

Code in my page-model:

[Display(
            GroupName = Global.GroupNames.Files,
            Order = 100)]
        [UIHint(UIHint.Document)]
        public virtual Url MyFile { get; set; }

Here's what happens:

The property seems to display properly in edit-mode. But when I click top pick a file I first get this

And then this:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1GzO91ZdUbzNWJYMm11YzRvOTA

What am I doing wrong?

However, if I switch to [UIHint(UIHint.Image)] the correct dialog comes up, but of course I can only choose images then.

Hi,

It is actually a reported bug about the mismatch uiHint used in document url editor descriptor. For a quick workaround, you can simply add one more UIHint attribute with value "DocumentUrl" and presentation layer set to "edit".

[Display(
            GroupName = Global.GroupNames.Files,
            Order = 100)]
        [UIHint(UIHint.Document)]
[UIHint("DocumentUrl", "edit")]

public virtual Url MyFile { get; set; }
