    Better way to check for Field value on an image

    var image = Umbraco.Media(Umbraco.Field("myImage").ToString());
var lang = "en";
var fieldValue = image.GetPropertyValue<string>($"alt_{lang}");

    I have the above code. I see that image is of type dynamic. But with dynamics I'm never sure whether a property or method exists. Is there a more strongly typed/better way of doing the above?

    Ultimately I'd like to:

    • For a given page
    • Get the image from the field
    • Get some field value from the image

    Hi Sebastian,

    To get a strongly typed media object change your first line of code to this :

    var image = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Umbraco.Field("myImage").ToString());

    But if you really like to work with strongly typed models you can have a look at ModelsBuilder

    I wrote a article that should get you started ; https://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2016/getting-started-with-modelsbuilder/
