    Need to Get Media File Name

    Hello

    In a class, I have something like CoverImage = cms.GetMediaFileUrl(node.GetPropertyString("coverImage")). Then in my macro:

    var articles = currentNode.ChildrenAsList.Select(ModelHelper.PrepareArticleModel).ToList();
    @foreach (var article in articles.Skip((page - 1) * pageSize).Take(pageSize)) {
    if ( article.CoverImage != "" ) {
    <div class="blog-img-pad">
    <img src="@(article.CoverImage)" border="0" alt="">
    </div>
    }
    }

    Currently, I'm missing a way to get to the name of the CoverImage. What method should I be invoking to gain access to it? It's probably something really simple that I'm totally blanking on... thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Hi Phillip,

    I would try to help you, I assume that you get the src to the image out by using this:

    <img src="@article.CoverImage" border="0" alt="">

    Have you tried something like this to get the name of the file?

    var articles = currentNode.ChildrenAsList.Select(ModelHelper.PrepareArticleModel).ToList();

    @foreach (var article in articles.Skip((page - 1) * pageSize).Take(pageSize)) {
        if (article.CoverImage != "" ){
            <div class="blog-img-pad">
                <img src="@article.CoverImage" border="0" alt="@article.CoverImage.Name">
            </div>

        }
    }

    Hope this gives you the filename.

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis

    Thanks for the assistance. Unfortunately, I get an error saying, "'string' does not contain a definition for 'Name' and no extension method 'Name' accepting a first argument of type 'string' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?"

    Okay Phillip,

    Does this give you anything in the alt attribute.

    var articles = currentNode.ChildrenAsList.Select(ModelHelper.PrepareArticleModel).ToList();

    @foreach(var article in articles.Skip((page -1)* pageSize).Take(pageSize)){
            if(article.CoverImage!=""){
                <div class="blog-img-pad">
                    <img src="@article.CoverImage" border="0" alt="@article.Name" />
            </    div>

            }
    }

    /Dennis

    No, article.Name doesn't work either.
