How to create Thumbnail in Umbraco using WebImage? (with Razor)

Question

I'm using Umbraco 6.

I try to create 2 Thumbnails for each photo I upload with the Mediapicker. I mean - every photo that upload should have 140x100 version and 350 x 200 version.

I don't want to use the ImageGen.

So I found this article about the WebImage helper - with this code:

@{  
    WebImage photo = null;
    var newFileName = "";
    var imagePath = "";
    var imageThumbPath  = "";

    if(IsPost){
        photo = WebImage.GetImageFromRequest();
        if(photo != null){
             newFileName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + "_" +
                 Path.GetFileName(photo.FileName);
             imagePath = @"images\" + newFileName;
             photo.Save(@"~\" + imagePath);

            imageThumbPath = @"images\thumbs\" + newFileName;
            photo.Resize(width: 60, height: 60, preserveAspectRatio: true,
               preventEnlarge: true);
            photo.Save(@"~\" + imageThumbPath);        
        }
    }
}

So actually I just created a new Razor Script (under the Developer section) - and it just doesn't work...

How do I do it? All I need to do is just to create a Thumbnail for each photo I upload with the media picker - then use them in my pages.

Thanks!

Umbraco automatically creates a thumbnail (for display in the media area) for every image saved into media. To use it just add _thumb between the image name and its extension after you get the umbracofile of the media item.

This should get all the media library images and their thumbs (obviously folders etc need to be handled differently):

var rootMedia = new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.Media(-1);
var allMediaImages = rootMedia.GetChildMedia();

foreach(var mediaImage in allMediaImages)
{
  var fullPath = mediaImage.GetPropertyAsString("umbracoFile");
  var thumbPath = mediaImage.GetPropertyAsString("umbracoFile").Replace(".","_thumb.");
}
