    How to get all node of specific type using Node factory?

    How to get all node of specific type using Node factory?


    Hi I am little new to use node factory class. I want to know is there any way to fetch nodes on bases of their type and order them on basis of their property.


    I am coding in C# and looking for something like…

         Nodes MyNodes = new Nodes();
         MyNodes = NodeFactory.GetAllNodes(‘Events’).Orderby(“EventEndDate”)     

    Please help me in this.

    Regards

    Jigar

    Hi,

     

    Me thinks you're really into linq... might have to wait for linq2umbraco to make such calls :p

     

    Anyways, you could also use some smart xslt to get the same results:

    -Build an xslt file that does the filtering and the sorting of the nodes

    -Transform the cached xml content against the xslt using the .net api's such as the XslCompiledTransform class.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    /Dirk

    All right Dirk De Grave,

    I am fine without linq. just give me some code snipet that works fine for above.  I just want to loop through nodes of certain types. i would do ordering manually.

    i have certain code for this tasks (found from forum only) but not working.

    umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node node = new umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node(1158);
    umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Nodes childrenNodes = node.Children;

    this gives error to me.

    Any help would be appriciated.

    Regards,

    Jigar

    I've just added a howto article in  the wiki that may help.

    when using those extension methods you can write the following: (not tested)

    Node MyNode = new Node(123);
    var events = MyNode.AllChildren().Where(n => n.NodeTypeAlias == "Events").OrderBy(n => n.GetPropertyAsDateTime("EventEndDate"));

    Hope that helps.

    Or you can use ChildrenAsTable (which then can be sorted or filtered)

    Node MyNode = new Node(123);
    DataTable = MyNode.ChildrenAsTable("nodeType");

    Maybe it loads all childs in single query and may be faster.
