Proper way to get the containing library of a BaseItem

[rechigo 293]

I've tried a couple different ways, but all of them result in an Id that is not equal to that of the containing library.

 

BaseItem.Parent

BaseItem.GetTopParent()

 

All of them give me the correct NAME of the library (movies), but the ID does not correlate to that of the Movies library returned in UserViewManager.GetUserViews

 

TLDR: HOW can I get the the ID of the Library that the BaseItem is part of

What Id of the BaseItem do you look at? There are many of them and it depends on what to do next with the Id, but i guess you want to use InternalId.

I'm looking at the Id property (GUID)

 

I just do not know how to get the Library ID (guid) that the base item is part of

 

Okay, I ended up just doing it like this

_userViewManager.GetUserViews(
    new UserViewQuery {
        UserId = _userManager.GetInternalId(Guid.Parse(UserId))
    }
).ToList().ForEach(folder => {
    if(folder.GetItemIdList(new InternalItemsQuery {}).Contains(item.InternalId)) {
        // do whatever now that we know it is in a library the user can access
    }
});
