    Why can't I get a dictionary item into here?

    Hi Guys,

    I am trying to get a dictionarty item into my variable, however I can't seem to get it working.

    var Searcher = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["DictionaryItemHERE"];

    Could some please suggest how to get this working? or even using an Umbraco Document Type Field would suffice.

    Many thanks, kind regards - Stephen

    Hi Stephen

    I have not tried this myself but perhaps either using

    var Searcher = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection[@Umbraco.Field("#DictionaryItemHERE")]; or

    var Searcher = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection[@Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("DictionaryItemHERE")];

    Does any of these approaches work?

    Jan, thanks for the reply.

    But both throw this exception.

    Hi Stephen

    Hmm, did you miss the closing ] when copying over the example? What does your exact code look like?

    Meh - Don't worry - I figured out my problem.

    I kept in the original quotation marks inside the [].

    Many thanks for the help Jan.

    Hi Stephen

    Yeah it's closed...but you're wrapping the expression in "" - Those gotta go :)

    This is what your variable looks like var Searcher = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["@Umbraco.Field("#DictionaryItemHERE")"];

    It should look like this var Searcher = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection[@Umbraco.Field("#DictionaryItemHERE")]; - Otherwise the expression is interpreted as a string...and you can't have "" inside "".

    Hope this makes sense.
