Hi Claus

I think array's don't have the Take method. If you call a ToList() it will probably work

@foreach (string pic in @node.GetPropertyValue("billeder").ToString().Split(',').ToList().Take(1)) {
   <p>@pic</p>
}

Dave

Hmmm nope

Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException: 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'ToList'

I guess you need to add the following using statement to your view

using System.Linq;

But the ToList() is not needed then I think

Dave

Now i have:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage<ContentModels.Somethinsomething>
@using ContentModels = Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels;
@using System.Linq;

in the top of my file - This is not a partial, but a template.

But i still get the error: Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException: 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Take'

Hi Claus,

May I ask why you are using the GetPropertyValue syntax ? I see you have models builder enabled.

What type of property is billeder ? And of course what @node is ?

Dave

Absolutely, and thank you for taking time to help out.

I am royally confused about Modelsbuilder, so i use what works

@foreach (string pic in @node.Billeder.ToString().Split(','))

works as well

"billeder" is a "Textarea" datatype

@node is the first child from a node picked with MNTP

Do you have it working now ? Or not

Because I tried something similar and didn't even need to include the using statement for system.Linq

Dave

Nope, im still getting: Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException: 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Take'

when doing:

@foreach (string pic in @node.Billeder.ToString().Split(',').Take(1)) { }

and Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException: 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Tolist'

when doing

@foreach (string pic in @node.Billeder.ToString().Split(',').Tolist().Take(1)) { }

Hi Claus,

Maybe try to add the following using statement as well

@using System.Collections.Generic;

Dave

No difference :I - same errors

Hmmm,

Could what is the output when you don't use the take ?

And what do you get when do : @node.Billeder.ToString().Split(,).GetType().FullName

Dave

Without take:

@node.Billeder.ToString().Split(,).GetType().FullName

returns an "argument missing" but

@node.Billeder.ToString().GetType().FullName

return "System.String"

And what does this return

@node.Billeder.ToString().Split(new [] ',').GetType().FullName

Im a bit confused

You just want to know the value of @node.Billeder.ToString().Split(new [] ',').GetType().FullName, right. Not used in a ForEach...

If so, it returns

Compiler Error Message: CS1514: { expected

Hi Claus;

Probably mistyped it. It should be

@node.Billeder.ToString().Split(new [] { ',' }).GetType().FullName

Dave

Returns

System.String[]

So we confirmed that it is indeed an array

So now we need to figure out why the Take(1) does not work.

Dave

One small step for man... :)

SUCCESS!

Woohoo !

Still strange the extension method is not picked up when add the using statement.

Dave

is working on a reply...
