How to get Project Files From CMS in Sitecore 8+

Sitecore hero image


What if you want to browse / download some files for your CMS application and you don't have access on the server
can we do this from CMS? Yes we can do 😃


There's more than one way to do this,
I will mention two ways here:



First way:


Go to this URL : YourInstanceUrl/sitecore/shell/default.aspx?xmlcontrol=FileExplorer

Note: In the versions prior to Sitecore 8 this link was in Desktop Module 

In this way you can browse / delete / deploy any files you want



Sitecore Explorer


Second way:

Go to your CMS >> Desktop >> Development Tools >>  Package Designer
Sitecore Desktop

>> Click on "Files Statically"
Sitecore Package Designer


>> You can choose the files you want in your package 
Sitecore Files Dialog

Recently, in my project, I had a requirement where, I had to show Items in a list dynamically based on its parent, and we are currently using Multi list with search, and I found it's better to use a custom data source as the query and fast query doesn't work for my case, so, I used the "code" Data source as it's the best solution for my case Below is an example of how I implemented this approach: Case: My case was to map the department with it's company, so I put the path of the company on the parent of the department Code: firstly, you have to add reference for  Sitecore.Bucket.dll as we will implement IDatasource interface public class DepartmentCustomDataSource : IDataSource { public Item[] ListQuery(Item item) { // department company Item parent = item.Parent...

C# Numeric types Overflow

Image
will this code be compiled? int x= int.MaxValue; x=x+1; The answer is, yes it will be compiled  I will tell you how, at runtime arithmetic operations on Integral types can overflow, and this happens silently no exceptions will be thrown, and the results exhibits wraparound behavior that means  int x= int.MaxValue; x= x+1; (x == int.MinValue) // True and if we do also the below expressions it will not give you the right result int a = 80000;  int b = 80000;  int c = a * b;  // 2105032704 while the right result is  6,400,000,000 So to avoid this issue we will use Checked Operator int a = 80000;  int b = 80000;  int c = checked(a * b);  // Run-time exception (line 9): Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow Checked: The checked keyword is used to explicitly enable overflow checking for integral-type arithmetic ...
