How to access image library

Hi,

I've this sample to access NewsItem and a related Image to every NewsItem.
What I need is to just access the Image Library "Thumbnails".
As I'm a novice with LinQ I can't make it work.

this.RadRotator1.DataSource = App.WorkWith()

                        .NewsItems()

                        .Where(n => n.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)

                        .Get()

                        .Take(this.NewsLimit)

                        .ToList()

                        .Join(App.WorkWith()

                                .Images()

                                .Get()

                                .Where(i => i.Parent.Title == "Thumbnails" && i.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live),

                            item => item.Title.Value,

                            image => image.Title.Value,

                            (item, image) => new NewsItem = item, NewsImage = image );

Can somebody help me please to clean the NewsItem from but keep the typ NewsImage as it is?

Thanks

Andre

Hi Andre,

You can get a specific library by its name this way:

Hi Victor,

I get an error when I try to use tihs as DataSource for the RadTree:
Data source is an invalid type.  It must be either an IListSource, IEnumerable, or IDataSource.

I'm a novice with LinQ so how can I cast it to the needed datatype?

Thanks

Andre

Hello Andre,

You can create a list of images from a particular album ( or you can get the album names, depending on what you want to achieve ) and bind them in the TreeView. Please consult our API, which contains examples of how to use the images API:

You can also check the RadTree demos on our website, in order to understand how it works:
