Hi,

I am using asp.net image gallery (classic layout), I am binding Images to that gallery by folder name 'Image

Gallery' in my server. In the Gallery there is a gallery browser for uploading new files. In that there is also an option

"New Category" for creating categories, Now I created some categories with names like as Pages, Emails, Banners etc..

Now I checked in the 'ImageGallery' folder It's creating folders like Category1, Category2 like that.. But in the gallery

it shows the category names as Pages, Emails etc. I want to get the exact category names (pages, Emails etc) what

I creating in the gallery not Category1, Category2 etc..

How can I achieve this..

Please give quick reply..

Regards,
Narendra

Hi narendrababu,

You can use the code below to get the category name. title is the category name, "~/GalleryFiles/" is your gallery folder location.

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (DotNetGallery.GalleryDataProvider provider = DotNetGallery.GalleryDataProvider.CreateInstance(Context, "~/GalleryFiles/"))
{
//get all category
string[] categoryArray = provider.GetCategoryArray();
for (int i = 0; i < categoryArray.Length; i++)
{
string title;
string description;
string properties;
if (provider.GetCategoryInfo(categoryArray[i].ToString(), out title, out description, out properties))
{
//title is the category name
//show all title in label1
label1.Text += title;
}
}
}
}

Regards,

Ken
