Hi,

I'm using PostAttachments.GetPostAttachtment(23).Url to get the url of a file I uploaded in the mediagallery. The problem is that they don't know the ID but they do know the Friendly Name. So I like to use something like PostAttachments.GetPostAttachtment(FRIENDLY-NAME).Url. Does someone knows a good conversion from the integer PostID to the string FRIENDLY-NAME?

Thanks!

Hi,

I get the FriendlyFilename by

Dim objFriendlyFN As Object = PostAttachments.GetPostAttachtment(postID).FriendlyFileName

and fill a Dropdownlist with

DropDownList1.Items.Add(objFriendlyFN.ToString)

I set the postID hardcoded by eg Dim PostID As Integer = 26 to test and it works! Now I like to get all the files uploaded in a mediagroup. How can I make this work?

Thanks for the help!

Querying the databse solved my problem!
