    Unable to list media items from razor template

    I have media items including folders. I am able to list the contents of the media root using this code:

    @foreach (var child in Umbraco.TypedMediaAtRoot()) {
    <h5>@child.Url | @child.Name</h5>}
    

    I can't figure out how to start with a folder under the root. I don't get any IntelliSense in VS2015, and I am having problems discovering the right solution.

    You have to decide how you want to select that folder, the easiest way is to use its id, then you can use @Umbraco.TypedMedia(1234). Other methods could be to create a specific folder media type or to select by name

    I would like to select it by name

    Ok, then assuming the folder is in the root I would use something like this:

    var myFolder = Umbraco.TypedMediaAtRoot().FirstOrDefault(f => f.Name == "MyFolderName");

    now this code:

    @{
        var myFolder = Umbraco.TypedMediaAtRoot().FirstOrDefault(f => f.Name == "Documents");
    
        foreach (var child in myFolder) {
            <h5>@child.Url | @child.Name</h5>
        }
    }
    

    generates this error:

     foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent' because 'Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

    I think myFolder should have a Children property so it would be

    foreach (var child in myFolder.Children) {
    

    see this very similar thread for ideas on how to achieve what you're after
