Check for file extension in mediafolder - razor

Hi All,

I've created this razor scripts, which gives me all the files from within a specific mediafolder. It works okay but it could be better.

My problem is that part of the code don't work because that part is only relevant for PDF's, since I use the package PDF thumbnails which creates a folder inside the mediafolder called pdfthumbs in which I will get the first thumbnail of the pdf.

So in my if statement i need a conditions to check for either the file extension or, if the pdfThumbs folder exist in the mediafolder?

Any help will be much appreciated.

foreach(dynamic pdfs in mediaFolder.file){
 var pdf = PDFHelper.GetMedia(pdfs.Id);
   var pdfUrl = pdf.Media.Url;
  var c = 0;
   string documentUrl = @pdfUrl;
    <div class="element-item">
      <a target="_blank" href='@documentUrl1'>
                @if (CONDITION to insert?){
            foreach (var thumb in pdf.PdfThumbs){
                                                    if(c > 0){break;}
         <img width="90" src="@thumb.fileName">
         c++;
         }  
         <span>@pdf.Media.name</span>
          }
        </a>
   </div>                   
}

Hi Bjørn,

You could use the following method to see if the file has a PDF extension:
```
if (Path.GetExtension(pdfUrl).Equals(".pdf"))
{
    ...
}
```
Thanks, Dan.

What type is mediaFolder and what type is MediaFolder.File.

If you create a new Media or IMedia object that has a property on i think its called Extension which will give you the file extension :).

Hope this helps ,

Charlie :)

Not sure how PDFHelper.GetMedia(pdfs.Id) works. You can try this one

  var pdf = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService.GetById(pdfs.Id);
    if (pdf.HasProperty("umbracoExtension") && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(pdf.GetValue("umbracoExtension").ToString()))
    {
        if(pdf.GetValue("umbracoExtension").ToString().Equals("pdf"))
        {
            @pdf.Name
        }
    }
