    umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList does not contain a definition for [anything]

    Hi guys,

    I can't seem to get to the items below a level. I keep getting:

    'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList' does not contain a definition for 'GetChildrenAsList'

    'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList' does not contain a definition for 'Down'

    'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList' does not contain a definition for 'Children'

    'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList' does not contain a definition for 'Descendants'

    My website is structured like:

    Website

    -homepage

    --banners

    --Categories

    So when I'm on the homepage I want using Razor to loop round the banners. I've tried a loads of different ways but can't seem to get it working. Even just writing out the number of items under banners throws one of the above errors:

        dynamic banners = Model.HomepageCategories.GetChildrenAsList();
       
        @banners.Count()

    Above would throw:

    'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList' does not contain a definition for 'GetChildrenAsList'

    Also stuff like this blows up:

    dynamic banners = Model.Descendants("HomepageCategories").Children;

    or

    dynamic banners = Model.Descendants("HomepageCategories").Children();

    I'm running 6.3.1, and I've install TeaCommerce but haven't done anything with it.

    Thanks

    Rob

    Hi Rob,

    What exactly is HomepageCategories, a property (picker) on your home page document type or a document type alias?

    It's a Document Type and under it are Category Document types which are what I'm trying to get to from the Homepage.

    Ok, I think probably the XPath method would be most appropriate for this, try:

    var banners = Model.XPath("//HomepageCategories/*");

    This worked! Thanks.

    Why could I not look over something like:

     foreach (var item in Model.HomepageCategories.GetChildrenAsList)

    Great,

    Model.HomepageCategories would retrieve a property with the alias of HomepageCategories on the currentpage (which doesn't exist) and a property does not have children....

    If you have a single document type for the items you wish to select, then you could use:

    var banners = Model.Descendants("aliasOfBannerItems");

    However the XPath method will probably be more efficient for you

    Thanks,

    Jeavon
