Server Side Variable in ASP.NET

You can freely use the %SERVER(xxx)% placeholder on any value in this file,
where "xxx" is the name of a server side variable to be used as replacement.

This comment is in a ckfinder.config for ASP.NET.

Please explain how to use these server side variables in ASP.NET to change config values.

If you show example code, it would be very pleasant.

Thank you.

Re: Server Side Variable in ASP.NET

Try this, for example, to update the base url dynamically:

Change ckfinder.config to be

<BaseDirectory
url = "%SERVER(myUrl)%"
serverPath = ""
/>

Then set a session variable on Page_Load that matches the name of what is in parentheses:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["myUrl"] = "/mydocuments/";
}

worked for me!
