Get property values in utility class

Using Umbraco 7
Hi,

In Views I normally get my properties values like this:

E.g.
```
var myProperty = Umbraco.Content(3354).GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("myPropertyAlias");
foreach(var item in myProperty)
{ <div>@item.GetValue("itemAlias")</div> }
```
But how can I get my property values inside a utitilty class?

I think that might be a job for the Umbraco helper
```
var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
```
Then you should be able to get access to properties as usual
```
var myProperty = umbracoHelper.Content(3354).GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("myPropertyAlias");
```

Thanks Julio, works great!

In my property I have an Media Picker data type, so I need to get the image url. Normally I would do:
```
var img = Umbraco.TypedMedia(item.GetValue("icon"));
<img src="@img.Url" />
```
How can I get TypedMedia in my class?

Thanks,

Dan

```
var image = umbracoHelper.TypedMedia(item.GetValue("icon"));
```
