MediaPicker in User Control and Umbraco custom section

I have just completed one of the task, where I am using Umbraco 4.0.* version CMS.

This task involved developing an user control which will be housed in an custom section and this user control should have option of selecting an image from umbraco server.

I looked at around as to how i can incorporate mediapicker control in my custom user control. I tried using the method suggested in this link, but this control doesnt provide any property which can identify the media file, that was selected.

But this posting, which has a post posted by Jeroen solved my issue. This solution utilizes Mediachooser which has a value property, which gets/sets the media file id.

The solution involves, adding the mediachooser to the placeholder onInit event of the control.

When the user control is submitted for saving, on the post-back, the mediachooser.value contains the value of the media file id.

The following statements will fetch the url for a mediachooser with image selected.

var mediaItem = umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media.Media(Convert.ToInt32(mediaChooserControl.Value))

imageurl = mediaItem.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value.ToString();
