VirtualDirectory Class

Definition

Represents a directory object in a virtual file or resource space.

public ref class VirtualDirectory abstract : System::Web::Hosting::VirtualFileBase
public abstract class VirtualDirectory : System.Web.Hosting.VirtualFileBase
type VirtualDirectory = class
    inherit VirtualFileBase
Public MustInherit Class VirtualDirectory
Inherits VirtualFileBase

Examples

The following code example is a VirtualDirectory class implementation that returns virtual directory information stored in a DataSet object. This code works with the code examples for the VirtualPathProvider and VirtualFile classes to provide virtual resources from a data store that is loaded into a DataSet object. For the complete instructions for compiling and running the example, see the Example section of the VirtualPathProvider class overview.

This example has two parts, the VirtualDirectory class implementation and the XML data file used to populate the DataSet object.

The first code example is an implementation of the VirtualDirectory class. In the constructor it uses a method on a custom VirtualPathProvider object to return a DataSet object. It then searches the DataSet object to retrieve the directory information associated with the virtual path provided.

The second example is the XML data file used to populate the DataSet object returned by the custom VirtualPathProvider object. This XML data is used to demonstrate using the VirtualPathProvider, VirtualFile, and VirtualDirectory classes to retrieve data from external data, and is not intended to represent a production-quality data store.

      content="This is the content of file Level1FileA." >  
    </resource>  
    <resource type="file"

Remarks

The VirtualDirectory class is the base class for objects that represent directories in a virtual file system. Typically, you would implement a descendent of the VirtualDirectory class for each VirtualPathProvider class descendent in your Web application.

Notes to Implementers

When you inherit from the VirtualDirectory class, you must override the Children, Directories, and Files properties to return an object implementing the IEnumerable interface.

If your virtual-directory structure contains moderate to large numbers of virtual resources, you should take care to minimize the system resources consumed when enumerating the virtual directory by calling the Children, Directories, or Files properties.

Constructors

VirtualDirectory(String)

Initializes a new instance of the VirtualDirectory class.

Files

Gets a list of all files contained in this directory.

IsDirectory

Gets a value that indicates that this is a virtual resource that should be treated as a directory.

Name

Gets the display name of the virtual resource.

(Inherited from VirtualFileBase)
VirtualPath

Gets the virtual file path.

(Inherited from VirtualFileBase)

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
