Introduction
Before reading this section, please read the installation and configuration instructions and make sure that the examples located in the _samples directory are working correctly.
The _samples directory contains HTML files with examples of launching CKFinder by using the JavaScript code as well as a aspx folder with examples of launching CKFinder by using the ASP.NET language.
The following files are used when either the JavaScript or the ASP.NET method of launching CKFinder is used:
-
ckfinder.jsin case of the JavaScript integration method, -
ckfinder_v1.jsin case of JavaScript V1 integration method (useful when migrating from CKFinder 1.x),
Example
To launch CKFinder, basically we need to do two things:
- Register an Assembly.
- Add the CKFinder tag.
Step1: Register an Assembly
Register an Assembly at the top of your ASP.NET source page:
<%@ Register Assembly="CKFinder" Namespace="CKFinder" TagPrefix="CKFinder" %>
Add the CKFinder tag inside the <body> element:
<CKFinder:FileBrowser ID="FileBrowser1" BasePath="/ckfinder/" Width="800" runat="server"></CKFinder:FileBrowser>
For a full working examples please refer to the "_samples" directory. Note that you must copy the CKFinder.dll file to your "bin" directory or make a reference to it in your Visual Studio project.
Integration methods
- JavaScript integration - The preferred method of integration, simple, yet powerful.
- JavaScript integration (V1) - The old "V1" way, useful when migrating from CKFinder 1.x because it is possible to reuse the old code.
- ASP.NET integration - If you haven't worked with JavaScript before or the JavaScript integration seems to be too complicated then it might be the way to go for you.
