Hi Henate,

I would recommend the built in property Link Collection for that purpose. It can hold any types of links, even files (in the VPP).

IMHO you should never use anything straight off the sample templates...

There is a FileDataSource but it usually disappoints me.

I prefer to collect the files and directories and files my self. Something like this:

private void GetDirectories(UnifiedDirectory directory)
{
foreach (UnifiedDirectory subDirectory in directory.Directories)

{
if (subDirectory.QueryDistinctAccess(AccessLevel.Read)) { ...

Hi Henate

The File Listing sample code is still in the Alloy Tech Sample site. Take a look under /templates/AlloyTech/Units/Placeable/FileList.ascx. When it comes to Johan's comment above about using code from the sample templates I disagree, I use alot of the code from the sample site, but I make sure to understand everything I pull from it before adding it to my projects (as we should with anything we add, always understand everything our code does).

Hope this helps.

Frederik
