FileStream image = new FileStream("C:\\uploads\\image.jpg", FileMode.Open);
contentItem.SetImagePropertyValue(imageProperty, "myImage.jpg", image);
// The name of the image can be set to a different name from the actual image name, such as,
// contentItem.SetImagePropertyValue(imageProperty, "someOtherName.jpg", image);
 
// Checks-in the content item to persist the updated ImageProperty value.
itemManager.CheckInItem(contentItem, "Check-in Comment");
 
// Retrieves the image, image name, height and width after the item is checked-in.
Stream retrievedImage = contentItem.GetImagePropertyValue(imageProperty);
String retrievedImageName = contentItem.GetImageName(imageProperty);
int imageWidth = contentItem.GetImageWidth(imageProperty);
int imageHeight = contentItem.GetImageHeight(imageProperty);
