Path.GetFileName(item) - Control the number of items

Hi,

Is there a way to control the number of the items that the code get from the folder?

Something like this;

 <img src="/media/@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("placeID")/@Path.GetFileName(item) [6 Items Max] " />

Many thanks

Hi Rayyan

This code, that you provided, doesn't return files from the folder.

This is what you need:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Take(6).ToArray();

Thanks,

Alex

Thank you Alex,

I just realise that I didn't ask the right question, what i'm looking for is to limit the number of the thumbnails only and keep the foreach as it is.

Is that possible?

 <img src="/media/@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("placeID")/@Path.GetFileName(item) **[take(6)]** " />

@{
    string folderPath = Server.MapPath("/media");
    string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath + "/" + Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("placeName"));
}
@foreach (string item in files){

<li id="firstImage" class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3" data-src="/media/@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("placeName")/@Path.GetFileName(item)" data-sub-html="">
                    <a href="">
                        <img src="/media/@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("placeName")/@Path.GetFileName(item)"/>
                    </a>
                </li>
}

Rayyan, use this code:

@{
    string folderPath = Server.MapPath("/media");
    string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath + "/" + Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("placeName")).Take(6).ToArray();
}
@foreach (string item in files){

    <li id="firstImage" class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3" data-src="/media/@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("placeName")/@Path.GetFileName(item)" data-sub-html="">
        <a href="">
            <img src="/media/@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("placeName")/@Path.GetFileName(item)"/>
        </a>
    </li>
}

This code limits the foreach to display 6 items, and what I want is to keep the foreach as it is and limiting the img tag only.

Thanks

You will have the same number of img tags on your page as images.

You;re right, but i want to let the foreach displays all the

<li data-src="/media/806.png" data-sub-html="">
                        <a href="">
                            <img class="img-responsive" src="/media/806.png"/>
                        </a>
                    </li>
    <li data-src="/media/853.png" data-sub-html="">
                        <a href="">
                            <img class="img-responsive" src="/media/853.png"/>
                        </a>
                    </li>
    <li data-src="/media/089.png" data-sub-html="">
                        <a href="">
                        </a>
                    </li>
    <li data-src="/media/931.png" data-sub-html="">
                        <a href="">
                        </a>
                    </li>
    <li data-src="/media/061.png" data-sub-html="">
                        <a href="">
                        </a>
                    </li>
    <li data-src="/media/735.png" data-sub-html="">
                        <a href="">
                        </a>
                    </li>
    <li data-src="/media/637.png" data-sub-html="">
                        <a href="">
                        </a>
                    </li>

As you can see, only the first 2 img tag (for example) are displayed.
