Try this:

@{
        var mediaItem = Umbraco.Media(product.ThumbnailImageMediaId);
        <a href="@url"><img src="@mediaItem.umbracoFile" /></a>
    }

Hi,

Looking at this you are using the image cropper on your media item.

You can do

@mediaItem.GetCropUrl(100,100) 

To display a image of 100x100

Dave and Dennis,

Thanks very much ... FYI I am using Umbraco version 7.4.1

Dennis Adolfi:

Thankyou. Trying to use code you suggest:

@{
        var mediaItem = Umbraco.Media(product.ThumbnailImageMediaId);
        <a href="@url"><img src="@mediaItem.umbracoFile" /></a>
    }

On Umbraco.Media I get

"The type or namespace media does not exist in the namespace Umbraco, (are you missing an assembly reference?).

What DLL do I need to reference please - based on https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Management/Models/Media I tried to reverence Umbraco.Core.DLL and added

using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;

But that did not help ?

Dave Woestenborghs:

Thankyou :-) I have not intentionally or knowingly used "Image cropper on your media item" . Note that and Umbraco BackOffice Media / Image /Properties shows Media Type as "Image".

When I try to include the code you suggest:

dynamic mediaItem = new DynamicMedia(product.ThumbnailImageMediaId);
string imageSource = @mediaItem.GetCropUrl(100,100);
<a href="@url"><img src="@imageSource" /></a>

imageSource returns an empty string ?? Also using debugger mediaItem does not show a property or method "GetCropUrl" ??

Any help with either of these two approaches to solve the problem would be appreciated.

Hi Denis and THANKs again.

Ahhh I see ....... FYI ... my code is part of a uCommerce Helper created for WebForms but which I am using in a MVC app (although many of my pages are from the uCommerce code and do not follow MVC coding practice - those pages are typically included as partial views without models or controllers, not perfect but works). That (I think) is why I have not inherited from UmbracoTemplatePage. I resolved this from info on https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Querying/UmbracoHelper/ with

var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper

So then coding as you suggested:

            var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);      
            var mediaItem = umbracoHelper.Media(product.ThumbnailImageMediaId);
            string imageSource = (string) mediaItem.umbracoFile;

I got the error: "Cannot implicitly convert type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.ImageCropDataSet' to 'string' "

But with a minor modification using mediaItem.Url instead of mediaItem.umbracoFile it all works:

            var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper           (Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
            var mediaItem = umbracoHelper.Media(product.ThumbnailImageMediaId);
            // string imageSource = (string) mediaItem.umbracoFile;
            string imageSource = (string)mediaItem.Url;

Thanks for your assistance resolving this. It is still unclear why this happened as this code previously worked. I suspect a breaking change in recent versions of Umbraco? Anyway all good now, thanks very much Denis.
