    Upload local files to Media programmatically

    Hi

    I cant find any working solution to upload local files to Umbraco programmatically.

    Tried this:

    uFile = mediaService.CreateMedia(fileName, parentId, mediaType);

var streamFile = new FileStream(localFile, FileMode.Open);
uFile.SetValue(Constants.Conventions.Media.File, streamFile);
streamFile.Close();

mediaService.Save(uFile);

    Error on uFile.SetValue():

    An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException' occurred in System.Core.dll

    Additional information: The best overloaded method match for 'Umbraco.Core.Models.ContentBase.SetPropertyValue(string, string)' has some invalid arguments

    Local file exists.

    if (File.Exists(localFile) == false) return;

    Any help?

    Finally found the answer:

    Add:

    using Umbraco.Core.Models;

    Now we have more options to SetValue()

    uFile.SetValue(Constants.Conventions.Media.File, fileName, streamFile);

    Yey!

    But, that didn't work.

    The files are listed in BackOffice, but they are not physical on the server (my machine).

    I am running a Console Application in another project, to create pages, upload files and set content.

    What more should I do? Copy files to Web project Media-folder? Doesn't feel like the best practice here.
