Hi Shakib

Since version 7.6 Umbraco has Property Value Converters in the core, so you can access your Media like:
```
        var typedMediaPickerSingle = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("photoMedium");
        if (typedMediaPickerSingle != null)
        {
            <p>@typedMediaPickerSingle.Url</p>
        }
```
Also, you can disable this functionality in umbracoSettings.config EnablePropertyValueConverters set to false.

Hope it will help you.

Thanks,

Alex

this code returns me null, but in the backoffice i can see that one image selected for "photoMedium" property and every thing is ok.
i dont know where is the problem.

when i disable Property Value Converters functionality every thing looks good.
but i guess something is wrong with this Property Value Converters.
another question i have is that why mediapicker is obsolete?what is the replace for that ??

Hi Shakib

mediapicker is obsolete

mediapicker2 is replacement for old mediapicker

You can still use mediapicker with version 7.6, but in future it will be totally replaced by mediapicker2

The difference between mediapicker and mediapicker2, how it stores the media id. First one works with 4 digits id, second one works with udi ids, it's more reliable and flexible way.

Thanks,

Alex
