    Set a property's value on a media folder thru api

    How would you got about setting a value to a property on a existing media folder?

    I've got the following but does'nt seem to work.

    var startMedia = uQuery.GetMediaByName(foldername).FirstOrDefault();
    var mediaFolder = startMedia.Id;
    var d = new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web.Document(1362);
    d.getProperty("galleryPassword").Value = password.ToString();
    d.Publish(new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0));
    umbraco.library.UpdateDocumentCache(d.Id);

    On this page you can see how I set properties on a media item: http://damp.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/62425cfc1854#DAMP.Samples%2fInstaller.ascx.cs. See the CreateMedia method. You shouldn't use the Document object, but the Media object.

    Thanks jeroen.

    So it's using

    Media media = Media.MakeNew(name, mediaType, adminUser, parentId);
    and then
    media.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value = umbracoFile;

    To set the property, but how to you reference an existing media item? if it was a document you would just use Document doc = Document(nodeid); but that does'nt seem to work for an existing media item?

    Try something like this

    var reqMedia = new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media.Media(Id);
    if (reqMedia != null)
    {
        //do something
    }

    Alternatively, I think this too should work

    Media m = new Media(id);
    string valueFromMedia = m.getProperty("propertyname").Value
