    check if a node has a property

    Hi.

    I'm trying to check if a certain node has a property "footerTextTitle" by:

    @foreach (var nodeLink in footerTop.ChildrenAsList.Where(n => n.GetProperty("footerTextTitle").IsNull() == true))
          {
            <li><a href='@nodeLink.GetProperty("footerLinkUrl").Value.ToString()'>@nodeLink.GetProperty("footerLinkTitle").Value.ToString()</a></li>
          }

    and getting a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error.

    How can I do this ?

    Have a look at the Razor DynamicNode Cheat Sheet. I think you can use these checks:

    .HasProperty(string propertyAlias)
    .HasValue(string propertyAlias)
    .IsNull(string propertyAlias)

    Have tried code like this

    Node somenode = new Node(myNodeID);


            if (somenode.GetProperty("myProperty") != null)
            {
                string myProperty = somenode.GetProperty("myProperty").Value.ToString();
                //Do something with myProperty
            }

    And for an even nicer and simpler and WAY more readable bit of code, try:

     

    @foreach (var item in footerTop.Children.Where("footerTextTitle != null && footerTextTitle.Trim() != string.Empty")) { 
    <li><a href="@item.footerLinkUrl">@item.footerTextTitle</a></li>
    }
