    Issue saving new media using MediaService

    Hi guys, trying to upload some media using the _mediaService in a custom UmbracoForms workflow but don't appear to be doing it right. (Umbraco 8.6.1, Forms 8.4.1)

    FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(file);

// Initialize a new image at the root of the media archive
IMedia media = _mediaService.CreateMedia(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fi.Name), Umbraco.Core.Constants.System.Root, Umbraco.Core.Constants.Conventions.MediaTypes.Image);

// Set the property value (Umbraco will handle the underlying magic)
media.SetValue(Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current.Services.ContentTypeBaseServices, Umbraco.Core.Constants.Conventions.Media.File, fi.Name, stream);

// Save the media
_mediaService.Save(media);

    However this doesn't work as the SetValue method does accept these arguments and so therefore errors.

    enter image description here

    I followed the documentation here

    https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Management/Services/MediaService/Index/

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi,

    Have you added 'using Umbraco.Core' to the top of your file? The extension used there is stored in that namespace.

    @Joep sorry I forgot to update this issue.

    You're absolutely right though that is exactly what I had missed from the documentation (should have read more carefully).

    Thank you for your help anyway :)
