IHierarchyData.Path Property

Definition

Gets the hierarchical path of the node.

public:
 property System::String ^ Path { System::String ^ get(); };
public string Path { get; }
member this.Path : string
Public ReadOnly Property Path As String

Property Value

A String that identifies the hierarchical path relative to the current node.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to implement the Path property in a class that implements the IHierarchyData interface. The FileSystemHierarchyData class wraps a FileSystemInfo object, and the Path property implementation returns its file system path. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IHierarchyData interface and the HierarchicalDataSourceControl class.

// DirectoryInfo returns the OriginalPath, while FileInfo returns
// a fully qualified path.
public string Path
{
    get
    {
        return fileSystemObject.ToString();
    }
}
' DirectoryInfo returns the OriginalPath, while FileInfo returns
' a fully qualified path.

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Path() As String _
 Implements IHierarchyData.Path
    Get
        Return fileSystemObject.ToString()
    End Get
End Property

Remarks

The Path property can be passed to the GetHierarchicalView method to retrieve the HierarchicalDataSourceView object that corresponds to the node identified by Path.

Caution

The Path property should not contain any sensitive information about the host environment, because it might be rendered to the client in a data-bound control.
