    Umbraco 6 looking for someNode.DescendantsOrSelf("nodeType")

    Hello,

    Starting in Umbraco 6 now, but I'm having trouble finding the methods I'm looking for (maybe I'm not looking for the right ones).

    Basically I'm looking for someNode.DescendantsOrSelf("nodeType"), which I used to use a lot in older projects. How do we accomplish this now in Umbraco 6?

     

    Thanks!

    You must reference the PublishedContentExtensions from the Umbraco.Web namespace. There you will find those methods.

    Ohh I see! So this here would be right?

    @using Umbraco.Web.Models
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@{
    var descendants = ((DynamicPublishedContent)CurrentPage).Descendants("someType");
}

    Is there a better (without casting) way of doing this?

    Thanks!

    Just add @using Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentExtensions and use the extension methods directly over Model.Content

    Regards

    Have tried to add the 

    @using Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentExtensions

    but he tolds me that this is a type and not a namespace.

    How can i use the Extensions?

    Sitting on Umbraco 6.0.0.

    Thanks in advance!

    David, maybe you are missing a reference in your Visual Studio project?
