Toolbar to show the context of a ListViewWebPart

Question

I'm using ListViewWebPart to display contents of SPFolder (subfolder inside a list) to display its contents.

Below is the code to implement this:

protected override void CreateChildControls()
  {
    try
    {
      base.CreateChildControls();

      webPart = new ListViewWebPart();

      using (var site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Url))
      using (var web = site.OpenWeb())
      {
        clientName = DataLogic.Client.GetClientName(Constants.Session.Client_ClientID);
        var library = web.Lists["Account"];
        webPart.ListName = library.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper();
        webPart.ListId = library.ID;   
        SPFolder folder = web.GetFolder("/Account/" + clientName);
        if (folder.Item != null)
        {
          SPContentTypeId folderctid = folder.Item.ContentType.Id;

          //set the folder url
          SetPrivateFieldValue(webPart, "rootFolder", folder.Url);
          SetPrivateFieldValue(webPart, "folderCtId", folderctid.ToString());
          webPart.ListViewXml = library.DefaultView.GetViewXml();            
          webPart.ChromeType = PartChromeType.None;
          this.mainSec.Controls.Add(webPart);
        }
        else
        {
          lblWarning.Text = "There is no document library associated with client " + clientName;
        }           

      }

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {

    }
private static void SetPrivateFieldValue(object obj, string fieldName, string val)
  {
    FieldInfo fi = obj.GetType().GetField(fieldName, System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    fi.SetValue(obj, val);
  }

The contents display correctly but the toolbar is the parent list's toolbar and not the folder's toolbar.

How can i modify the toolbar context to load the context of the spfolder?

Answer 1

Create a view that displays the folder content you need and use it in ListViewWebPart, setting ViewId and ListID and WebId, also you can change the SPView xml (and related query part) and set it to ListViewXml property of ListViewWebPart (thus you can modify view dynamically).

I think in that case toolbar will be shown as needed.
