Adding a file to a specific folder through SuiteTalk WebService

Here I am explaining how can we add a file (like XML, JAVASCRIPT, PDF,IMAGE etc.) to a specific folder in the filecabinet through suitetalk webservice .

1)First we need to browse the file using asp:FileUpload control. Here is the code :-

 <div>
         <asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload" runat="server" />         <asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" Text="UPLoad"  onclick="btnUpload_Click" />
    </div>
 
2)Then in the code behind of the button click event we need to write the following code to get the file information :-
 
                     //Getting the file path
string path = System.IO.Path.GetFullPathfileupload.PostedFile.FileName);
                    //getting the file name
  string filename = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileupload.FileName);                  
                    //Getting the file content                    
byte[] fileContent = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);                           
                    lblSummary.Text = "Upload status: File uploaded!";
    //calling the function to add the file to the file cabinet                     AddFile(filename, fileContent);

3)In AddFile(filename, fileContent) we need to search the specific folder in the file cabinet through suitetalk.

Code to search for the specific folder in the file cabinet :

//Contains details on the status of the operation and a reference to the updated record.
                WriteResponse writeResp = null;
 
   //To implement a search for Folder through suitetalk , we need to work with FolderSearch and FolderSearchBasic classes.
           FolderSearch fldSearch = new FolderSearch();                 FolderSearchBasic fldSrearchBasic = new FolderSearchBasic();                 SearchStringField searchFolder = null;
              
               //Name of the folder that we want to search                 string searchValue = "Demo";                 
               //Filtering by the folder name                 searchFolder = new SearchStringField();                 searchFolder.@operator = SearchStringFieldOperator.@is;
 //Search operator 
                searchFolder.operatorSpecified = true;                   searchFolder.searchValue = searchValue;
//searchValue is name of the folder "Demo"                 fldSrearchBasic.name =searchFolder ;  
               fldSearch.basic = fldSrearchBasic;
                // Search by isActive field which is a boolean                 SearchBooleanField isActive = new SearchBooleanField();                 isActive.searchValue = true;                  isActive.searchValueSpecified = true;
                // Invoke search() web services operation                 SearchResult response = nsService.search(fldSearch);

Once the search is successfull we need to fetch the information from the search result to add the file to the specific folder in filecabinet.

//Now stroring the search result in an array
                Record[] arrRecord = (Record[])response.recordList;
                // Process response
                 if (response.status.isSuccess)
                 {
                     lblSummary.Text = "search is successful";
                    Folder fldr = (Folder)arrRecord[0];
 //Getting a specific folder from the search
                    string fldrId = fldr.internalId;
  //Fetching the required folder's internal ID
                    RecordRef refId = new RecordRef();    
                   refId.internalId = fldrId;
              //Storing the folder id
    //File object created to get all the file information 
                    File objFile = new File(); 
                    objFile.name = filename; //setting the file name 
     objFile.folder = refId;  //setting the folder information  
      objFile.content = fileContent; //settig the file content     
  writeResp = nsService.add(objFile); //adding file to the file cabinet  
                }               
  else             
    {           
          lblSummary.Text = "search not found"; 
                    return;   
              }

After this the file will get added to the file cabinet to a specified folder.
