I have setup a page to display news article and I can't seem to retrieve the url of the Media for the new article to add it to the SRC of the img.

I am not sure of the approach to get the value of headerImage url,.

Here is the code:

@{
var selection = Umbraco.Content(Guid.Parse("d84ed744-7582-4507-83f9-18b98fe83838"))
.Children("articlesItem")
.Where(x => x.IsVisible())
.OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate);}

@foreach (var item in selection)
{

<div id="fh5co-blog">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4">
            <div class="animate-box">
                <a href="@item.Url"><img class="img-responsive" src="@item.Value("headerImage")" alt=""></a>
                <div class="blog-text">
                    <h3><a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a></h3>
                    <span class="posted_on">@item.CreateDate</span>
                    <p>@Html.Raw(@item.Value("articleContent").ToString().Truncate(100))</p>
                    <a href="@item.Url" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

}

Hi Pierre,

This code @item.Value("headerImage") gives you the complete media node instead of the actual url. Also, as Rann suggested, you should check if the media item and the url exists (Null/Empty check) Try using this codesnippet:
```
@if (item.HeaderImage != null && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(item.HeaderImage.Url))
{
<a href="@item.Url"><img class="img-responsive" src="@item.HeaderImage.Url" alt=""></a>
}
```

Don't forget to check if it's not null/empty, else you'll get an exception when directly checking the .Url

Thanks for your reply

Gave that a try as you suggested and in visual studio as well, it's not recognizing headerImage or HeaderImage.

here is a screenshot of Visual studio and umbraco

Alright, so youre item is dynamic. In that case, you can do it like this:

@{ var headerImage = item.Value<IPublishedContent>("headerImage"); }
@if (headerImage != null && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(headerImage.Url))
{
<a href="@item.Url"><img class="img-responsive" src="@headerImage.Url" alt=""></a>
}
