    Search mediafolders for a property?

    I want to go through each media folder and look for the value of a custom property i've made, "mycustomproperty". How can I do this in the codebehind/api?

    I tried

    var foundNodes = root.GetDescendantNodes().Where(x => x.GetPropertyAsString("mycustomproperty").Contains(searchString));

    But it returns null.

    Thanks
    Pete

    Hi,

    What version of Umbraco are you using?

    And what type of variable is 'root'?  I think GetDescendantNodes might only work for Content nodes.  Something like this should work for Media (in 4.9.0 with uQuery built in)

    var root = new Media(xxxx);
    var foundNodes = root.GetDescendantMedia().Where(x => x.GetProperty<string>("myValue").Contains(searchString));

    Hope this helps,
    Tom

    Hi Tom

    Thanks for the reply. I'm on 4.7.2. I've got uComponents/uQuery installed.

    For root I was using:

    umbraco.NodeFactory.Node root = umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent();

    What do you set for the root? -1? will that make it go through all the media nodes?

    Thanks

    Not sure how you can start at the media root, but you could try this instead:

    var medias = uQuery.GetMediaByType("Image").Where(x => x.GetProperty<string>("myValue").Contains(searchString));
