Getting documents from a documentfolder

RajanP

Hi,

I am having around 5000 documents in a document folder. I wanted to know if there is any limit for the number of documents which can directly be added inside a DocumentFolder?
Also currently i am getting only 512 documents from the folder along with the overflow flag as true. I wanted to know the method to retrieve all the remaining documents.

I don't know if there is a physical limit but adding a great volume of documents to a single folder would not be feasible for these reasons:

1. Server at some point could potentially time out when some of the operations require a round trip to the server.
2. It becomes expensive as each document added is a round trip to the server.
3. It does not make sense to have more documents than an end-user can see within the real estate of the treeview.

512 is the default to return by the server. You may set a different number using the MaxRowsForSearch (IManSession/NRTSession) Property. It would also be advisable to adjust the Session.Timeout Property accordingly as well.
