This is just a quick post to show how to get image URL via code behind C#.

This is mostly useful when you are binding children items to a repeater or returning image URL in a JSON web-service.

 public static string GetImageURL(Item currentItem)  
 {  
      string imageURL = string.Empty;  
      Sitecore.Data.Fields.ImageField imageField = currentItem.Fields["Image"];  
      if (imageField != null && imageField.MediaItem != null)  
      {  
       Sitecore.Data.Items.MediaItem image = new Sitecore.Data.Items.MediaItem(imageField.MediaItem);  
       imageURL = Sitecore.StringUtil.EnsurePrefix('/', Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaManager.GetMediaUrl(image));  
      }  
 return imageURL;  
 }
