    Add media item to multiple media picker programatically

    Hi all,

    I am currently creating media items using the following code:

    string originalPath = "uploadedImages\\test.png";
IMediaService mediaService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;
var newImage = mediaService.CreateMedia("myTestImage", -1, "Image");

byte[] buffer = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(originalPath)));

System.IO.MemoryStream strm = new MemoryStream(buffer);
newImage.SetValue("umbracoFile", "myNewImage.png", strm);
mediaService.Save(newImage);

if (System.IO.File.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(originalPath)))
{
   System.IO.File.Delete(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(originalPath));
}

    My question is, how do I then go about adding these items to a multiple media picker programmatically? Does it just require a string of ids to be passed into one of the properties or does it require an actual image object to be passed in?

    I'm facing the same challenge, did you find out how to do it eventually?

    I have done it like this: 

    int contentId = ...;
List<int> uploadedMediaIds ...;

if (!contentId.Equals(default(int)))
{
    var cs = UmbracoContext.Current.Application.Services.ContentService;
    var content = cs.GetById(contentId);
    if (!content.Equals(null))
    {
        var oldValue = content.GetValue<string>(prop);
        var newValue = oldValue + "," + string.Join(",", uploadedMediaIds.Select(i => i.ToString())).Trim(new char[] { ' ', ','});                                             
        content.SetValue(prop, newValue);
        cs.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(content);
    }
}
