Image to URL properties

Vote:
 
I have an image to url property in my template, but I dont want to add a string property for teh alt text, I want to use the description which is a property in the image. Is this possible? Obviously he image to url property just gives me its URL and not the actual image object, If there isnt a standard way I think I will have to create an image property?

Does anyone know if this is possible, I would also like to use the description as the ALT tag for the image.

Hi Chris and Tony.

This is possible, but you have to get the picture file object to find the meta tags associated to it. You could do it like this:

UnifiedFile file = HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.GetFile("PathToFile") as UnifiedFile;
if (file != null && file.Summary.Dictionary.Contains("Description"))
{
string altText = file.Summary.Dictionary["Description"].ToString();
}
Hope this helps!
Br, Tore
