Content Page¶

Here's a sample helper function that builds the link suitable for inclusion on an ASPX or HTML page. The QueryString parameters are as follows.

RP = path of requested document (without file)
RF = file name of requested document (without path)

VB.NET¶

Private Function BuildLink(ByVal id As Integer, ByVal file As String) As String

    '-- Inits ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ' TODO: Adjust the queryString template appropriate to your implementation
    Dim queryString As String = "?RP=uploads/TD/{id}/&RF={file}"

    Dim imageLink As String = "<a href='javascript:showLinkAs(""{queryString}"")'>"
    imageLink &= "<img src=""./images/link.jpg"" border=none /></a>"

    Dim result As String = "<a target='_blank' href='GetPage.aspx{queryString}&SLId=0'>"
    result &= "{file}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{imageLink}&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"

    file = Server.UrlEncode(file)

    '-- "Fill In" the templates ---------------------------------------------------------------
    queryString = queryString.Replace("{id}", id)
    queryString = queryString.Replace("{file}", file)
    imageLink = imageLink.Replace("{queryString}", queryString)
    result = result.Replace("{queryString}", queryString)
    result = result.Replace("{file}", file)
    result = result.Replace("{imageLink}", imageLink)

    '-- Clean Up ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Return result

End Function
