Hello Umbracians,

I am trying to create an inline .NET macro that displays an image with a caption underneath. I created a macro with two parameters. One called CaptionText with type text and one called CaptionImage with type "mediaCurrent". I attached a .NET user control to the macro.

In the page_load method of the .NET control I want to fetch the image from the media library, but page_load is never hit. The constructor of the user control is hit, but in the constructor I don't see any values for the parameters.

Here is my macro code. I hope you can help out.

namespace Mysite.usercontrols
{
    public partial class ImageWithCaption : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        public int TheImage { get; set; }
        public string CaptionText { get; set; }
        public UmbracoImage image;

        private static readonly log4net.ILog Log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

        public ImageWithCaption()
        {
            // At this point TheImage is 0 and CaptionText is null. Why?
            Log.Debug("TheImage: " + TheImage);
            Log.Debug("CaptionText: " + CaptionText);
        }

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // This is never hit
            Log.Debug("TheImage in onload: " + TheImage);
            Log.Debug("CaptionText in onload: " + CaptionText);

            XPathNodeIterator iterator =  library.GetMedia(TheImage, false);
            UmbracoImage image = UmbracoFieldReader.ReadMediaImageFromIterator(iterator);
        }
    }
}
