    Create Media Programmatically in V7

    Can anyone help me with some code to create images programmatically in V7 API?  I have got the Node stuff sorted using Umbraco.Core.Serivices.ContentService, but the media stuff is not being so nice.

    Esentially, I have created a user control to which people can create nodes, then upload images to associate with the node.  I want to add these images to the Media section.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hugh

    Hi i've done something very similar in uSync.ContentEdition so the source might shed light on it

    https://github.com/KevinJump/jumoo.usync/blob/master/jumoo.usync.content/MediaImporter.cs#L85

    and

    https://github.com/KevinJump/jumoo.usync/blob/master/jumoo.usync.content/helpers/FileHelper.cs#L236

    the create is simple enough 

    _mediaService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;
media = _mediaService.CreateMedia(name, parentId, mediaAlias);

    the import media file (in FileHelper above) was more tricky.

    you need to call IMediaItem.SetValue and pass the filename and stream to upload the umbracoFile

    FileStream s = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open);
item.SetValue("umbracoFile", Path.GetFileName(file), s);
s.Close();

    all of this assumes you haven't done something 'special' with the umbracoFile property.

    hope that helps.

    Make sure to call _mediaService.Save(media); after that.
