    Hi,

    Media files are always stored on disk! in .net, use Server.MapPath() to get filename on disk

    public static string GetImagePath(int

    mediaId)

    {

     

     

    // Get the path to the image

     

     

    XPathNodeIterator xImage = umbraco.library.GetMedia(mediaId, true

    );

     

     

    XPathNodeIterator nodes = xImage.Current.Select("/node/data[@alias='umbracoFile']"

    );

     

    string path = string

    .Empty;

     

     

    while

    (nodes.MoveNext())

    {

    path = nodes.Current.Value;

     

     

    break

    ;

     

    }

     

     

    return

    path;

    okay, so Visual Studio has lots of tricks i have to learn :) I was able to fix that error by simply hitting 'Ctrl .' and it gave me a list of refrences that i 'MIGHT' be trying to use but have not included... so i simply clicked on the one i wanted and VIOLA -- everything passess error tests :)

    this is gonna be a fun winter :)
