AttachmentManager in Kentico 8

Keith Durrant asked on March 24, 2014 16:05

In Kentico 7 we're using CMS.DocumentEngine.AttachmentManager in a custom form control. We're trying to port the control to Kentico 8 and it no longer resolves. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Regards.

You can do it like that:

var attachmentInfo = AttachmentInfoProvider.GetAttachmentInfo(tempAttach.AttachmentGUID, SiteContext.CurrentSiteName);

attachmentInfo.AttachmentName = name;
attachmentInfo.AttachmentDescription = description;

AttachmentInfoProvider.SetAttachmentInfo(attachmentInfo);

V8 isn't out yet and I don't believe full documentation is completed. Also the RC version you're using will not have an upgrade path to the full release of v8 so I'd suggest waiting until the full version comes out to make any code changes. Also there is typically a list of API changes that come out with the release. If you have support with Kentico, you might try calling or emailing them.

I'm building a site using v8 now. I believe you have to use CMS.DocumentEngine.AttachmentInfoProvider instead.

Thanks Yehuda. I was instantiating an AttachmentManager to save an attachment with it's SetAttachmentInfo method. Can you advise on how to use the AttachmentInfoProvider to do the same thing?

Hmm...Thanks Yehuda but in K8, AttachmentInfoProvider doesn't have a SetAttachmentInfo method.

Apologies Yehuda. I was trying to use SetAttachmentInfo as an instance method. Your code sample works as described.

Curious to find what you're both working on that you're developing in V8 already? What are your plans to upgrade to the full version from the RC version? Hoping they aren't client or production sites...
