    Getting a list of media with MediaService

    Hey, can anyone tell me if there is a simple way get a list of all media using the MediaService I thought i would be able to use:

    mediaService.GetDescendants(-1)

    However this doesn't seem to work. 

    library.GetMedia(-1, true);

    This returns all media but returns XPathNodeIterator

    Hi David and welcome to our,

    I´m not a backend developer, so I don´t know if this is possible.

    But with the .GetRootMedia() you should get get a Enumerable list of Media objects, which reside at the first level / root.

    When you have the root, can´t you then take the Children, or Descendants?

    .GetChildren(int parentId)

    Gets a Enumerable list of Media objects by parent Id.

    .GetDescendants(int parentId)

    Gets Enumerable list descendants of a Media object by its parent Id.

    Hope this can help you,  allthough I'm not backend developer.

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis thanks for the reply. Ye i guess i could use .GetRootMedia() Which returns a list of the top level folders and files and then iterate over the decendants and add them to one list. Was hoping there was something a little simpler than this though.

    After testing library.GetMedia(-1, true); doesn't return all media either.
