Image path from umbraco.library.GetMedia is wrong

Hi, I am new to Umbraco so I might be doing something wrong here but seems fairly straight forward.

I have a user control with a repeater on it. It displays text and an image. When each item binds it calls a function to get the image for the ID.

<td valign="top" style='width: 235px; height: 235px padding: 10px; background-image: url(<%# getImage(Convert.ToInt32(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Recipe Image"))) %>);'>

The function getImage() returns this value: /media/16056/ice_cream_cookie_sandwich.jpg20121540112jpg

public string getImage(int ImageID)
{
var media = umbraco.library.GetMedia(ImageID, false);
if (media != null && media.Current != null)
{
media.MoveNext();
return media.Current.Value;
}
return "";
}

Any ideas why the filename has the extra numbers appended to it? I could substring these but have to believe there is a better way. Thanks

Andrew

in your var statement for media... add /umbracoFile -- see if that get's you the right path.

Thanks, that helped me along the right path. I ended up search for both your tip and the getmedia and found this

http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst4929_Getmedia-in-usercontrol.aspx

Here is what I am now using:

public string getImage(int ImageID)
        {
            XPathNodeIterator xn = umbraco.library.GetMedia(ImageID, false);
            xn.MoveNext();

            XPathNodeIterator xn2 = xn.Current.Select("data[@alias='umbracoFile']");
            xn2.MoveNext();
            return xn2.Current.Value;
        }

Here's an update for the latest schema

var xpNodeIter = umbraco.library.GetMedia(ImageID,false);
xpNodeIter.MoveNext();
var xpNodeIter2 = xpNodeIter.Current.Select("umbracoFile");
xpNodeIter2.MoveNext();
var imageUrl = xpNodeIter2.Current.Value;
