Hi we've moved from 4 to 6 and looking at the documentation for 6 it's not that clear what the best way of simply retrieving some media via the api in your codebehind??
I found one reference in a blog post but it's not in the documentation and i don't know if it's right:
You're right that you want to use MediaService. How you access it might depend on where you're writing the code - is it for a usercontrol? If so you should adjust your usercontrol to inherit from UmbracoUserControl - then you'll automatically have access to MediaService by just: Services.MediaService
In other areas you should be able to use the ApplicationContext - what troubles are you having with that?
Umbraco v6 Media?
Hi we've moved from 4 to 6 and looking at the documentation for 6 it's not that clear what the best way of simply retrieving some media via the api in your codebehind??
I found one reference in a blog post but it's not in the documentation and i don't know if it's right:
ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService
this article doesn't mention it anywhere:
http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/MediaService
is there a good getting started with ApplicationContext etc.. the documentation doesn't provide any real examples..
Hi Tom,

Hope this helps,
