    Custom Media property problem

    I try to use a custom Media property. But I get:

    Object not set to an instance of an object.

    The x.GetPropertyValue doesn't find the custom Media properties at all. Does anyone know how to go about this?

    I use ver 6.1.5

    var rootMedia = Umbraco.TypedMediaAtRoot();

var rootFiles = rootMedia.Select(x => x)
    .Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "File" && x.GetPropertyValue("umbracoExtension").ToString().Contains("pdf"));

var descendantFiles = rootMedia.SelectMany(x => x.Descendants())
    .Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "File" && x.GetPropertyValue("umbracoExtension").ToString().Contains("pdf"));

var oFiles = rootFiles.Union(descendantFiles)
    .Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("documentMetaData").ToString().Contains(metadata_id))
    .OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate);

    Hi Jerker,

    I had no problem getting the below sample to work with Umbraco v6.1.6, (I only made a few small tweaks, but your original sample worked also). What do you have in the variable metadata_id?

    @{
    var rootMedia = Umbraco.TypedMediaAtRoot();

    var rootFiles = rootMedia.Select(x => x)
        .Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "File" && x.GetPropertyValue<string>("umbracoExtension").Contains("pdf"));

    var descendantFiles = rootMedia.SelectMany(x => x.Descendants())
        .Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "File" && x.GetPropertyValue<string>("umbracoExtension").Contains("pdf"));

    var oFiles = rootFiles.Union(descendantFiles)
        .Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<string>("documentMetaData").Contains("something"))
        .OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate);
}
<p>@oFiles.Count()</p>
