Hi all,

Ugrade from CMS6r2 to 7.19.2 (webforms)

I want to check if image Exists on disc.

HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.FileExists("/globalassets/penguins.jpg") always false. (the image is there on the site)

EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathHandler.GetProvider("SiteGlobalFiles") is null. (How do i know what the name is? since it is not in the episerverframework.config)

the images are working on the site.

Any Idea?

Hi Lucster,

In 7.5 we switched from using VPP for media files and instead use the new media system (which now uses a blob provider to store files). Now files are content just like pages. You can get a content reference from a URL by using the UrlResolver.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Tony! that helped. So the approach is something like this:

Public bool FileExists(string path){
 var urlResolver = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<UrlResolver>();
                UrlBuilder url = new EPiServer.UrlBuilder(path);
                var content = urlResolver.Route(url);
                MediaData mf = content as MediaData;

                if (mf != null && mf.BinaryData != null)
                {
                    
                    return true;
                }
                return false;
}
