Hi Jeavon

Thanks for that

How can i set the url value to a variable in my code and then use it in the page below?

The value will not always exist

cheers

Nic

Hi Nic,

How about

@{
    var mediaItemUrl = string.Empty;
    if(Model.Content.HasValue("sampleChapterFile")){
        mediaItemUrl = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("sampleChapterFile")).GetPropertyValue("umbracoFile");  
    }   
}
Further down 
@{
  if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(mediaItemUrl){
    Do something with @mediaItemUrl
 }
}

thanks for that, what if the i need to pull the value back in a loop, like the below:

@foreach(var article in Model.Content.Children().Where(c => c.DocumentTypeAlias =="Items" && c.IsVisible()).Take(maxNumArticlesToShow))

{

    HtmlString details = article.GetPropertyValue<HtmlString>("details");

HtmlString thumb = article.GetPropertyValue<HtmlString>("thumbnail");

var img = string.Empty;

if (article.HasValue("thumbnail")){                                         

        var dynamicMediaItem = Umbraco.Media(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("thumbnail"));

img = dynamicMediaItem.umbracoFile;

    }

Hi Nic,

That looks fine, the img variable is local to the foreach loop, so I'm not quite sure what your are after?
