API Questions

How would you got about setting a value to a property on a existing media folder?

I've got the following but does'nt seem to work.

var startMedia = uQuery.GetMediaByName(foldername).FirstOrDefault();
var mediaFolder = startMedia.Id;
var d = new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web.Document(1362);
d.getProperty("galleryPassword").Value = password.ToString();
d.Publish(new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0));
umbraco.library.UpdateDocumentCache(d.Id);

On this page you can see how I set properties on a media item: http://damp.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/62425cfc1854#DAMP.Samples%2fInstaller.ascx.cs. See the CreateMedia method. You shouldn't use the Document object, but the Media object.

Thanks jeroen.

So it's using
```
Media media = Media.MakeNew(name, mediaType, adminUser, parentId);
and then
media.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value = umbracoFile;
```
To set the property, but how to you reference an existing media item? if it was a document you would just use Document doc = Document(nodeid); but that does'nt seem to work for an existing media item?

Try something like this

var reqMedia = new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media.Media(Id);
if (reqMedia != null)
{
    //do something
}

Alternatively, I think this too should work
```
Media m = new Media(id);
string valueFromMedia = m.getProperty("propertyname").Value
```
