    Can't use dictionary items with <umbraco:item... (4.0.3 / IIS 7.5)

    When I'm trying to insert a dictionary item into a template using <umbraco:Item field="[#Print]" runat="server"></umbraco:Item> i get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

    Does anyone know why? I have set the node domain/language and created the dictionary item named "Print"...

    Also, when trying to insert the item using the "Insert umbraco dictionary item" using tinymce i only get a list of '0's in the drop down list. (The amount does correspond to the amount of configured dictionary items..)

    This is the stack trace, should it be of any help:

    [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   umbraco.helper.parseAttribute(IDictionary pageElements, String attributeValue) +406
   umbraco.helper.FindAttribute(IDictionary pageElements, IDictionary attributes, String key) +107
   umbraco.item..ctor(IDictionary elements, IDictionary attributes) +43
   umbraco.presentation.templateControls.ItemRenderer.GetFieldContents(Item item) +417
   umbraco.presentation.templateControls.ItemRenderer.ParseMacros(Item item) +66

    Please help :)

    Your dictionary list is dispalying correctly? Try to restart the website. I think the cache is corrupted.

    cheers,

    I've just stumbled across the same issue. Remove the square brackets and it should work, like this:

    <umbraco:Item Field="#Print" runat="server"/>

    Cheers,

    David
