Hi Thomas,

The number that you are seeing returned is the ID of the content/image from the picker.

To use that ID on your page, you need to write some code similar to

For content:
```
@{
    var page = Umbraco.TypedContent(1234);
}

<h3>@page.GetPropertyValue<string>("propertyAlias")
</h3>

@foreach (var child in page.Children) {
    <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a>
}
```
For Images:
```
@{
   var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(<ID>); 
   var mediaUrl = mediaItem.Url;
}
```
See

https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/querying/umbracohelper/#working-with-media

for more details on this.

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi Thomas

Have you tried using the snippet provided in the documentation for the content picker here https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Getting-Started/Backoffice/Property-Editors/Built-in-Property-Editors/Content-Picker2#typed-example ?

In the example it's shown how to get the name but I suppose you should be able to write .Url to get the url instead for instance.

Otherwise you should be able to fetch the id/udi and the pass it to @Umbraco.TypedContent like Louis tried to illustrate in the code examples he provided above.

I hope this helps!

If not then please try to provide a code example so we can get your context :)

Hi Jan thanks for the update.

Is that possible to get the content picker value by using the umbraco library, because when i try to read the node it return some digits (like : 1430) so that i want to try to convert that to appropriate value (liek url)

So is that possible ?

Like Jan says in his example link...

@{
    IPublishedContent typedContentPicker = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("yourContentAlias");
    if (typedContentPicker != null)
    {
        var url = typedContentPicker.Url;                                             
    } 
}

Hi Louis

I have tried with umbracohelper like below

var url = umbracoHelper.NiceUrl(1305);

Hi Thomas,

Without knowing exactly what you are trying to achieve, I can only guess that you are trying to get the url from the content picker control on a page to then place that url in an xml document, right?

There are a few ways to get url from a content picker control:
```
int typedContentPickerId = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<int>("contentPickerAlias");
    if (typedContentPickerId > 0)
    {
        var url1 = Umbraco.NiceUrl(typedContentPickerId);
        var url2 = Umbraco.TypedContent(typedContentPickerId).Url;
        var url3 = Umbraco.TypedContent(typedContentPickerId).UrlAbsolute();

    }
```
Hope this helps
