Hi Ian,

I'm not sure that inheriting from UnifiedFile is such a good idea.  The problem is that none of the methods in EPiServer are going to give you back an instance of an ImageItem, so even if you construct a UnifiedFile object you'll be unable to get it back unless you explicitly construct a new ImageItem and initialize it with the data from the UnifiedFile returned from EPiServer.

I'd suggest instead creating a wrapper class for UnifiedFile, like this:

public class ImageItem

{

public UnifiedFile UFile { get; private set; }


public ImageItem(UnifiedFile file)
{
UFile = file;
}

#region Utility Methods that operate on UFile, specific to ImageItem

#endregion

}

Then you can easily turn any UnifiedFile in to an ImageItem. 

Hope this is useful.

Andy

Hi Andy,

I was imagining that might be the way to go.

Thanks for the confirmation

Ian
