    Multiple Root nodes - get property

    I have multiple root nodes - just wondering was the best way to navigate to say the b node and grab x property?

    Have been using the below - but worried about performance.

        var root = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1);
    var settings = root.Siblings().FirstOrDefault(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "MyNodeAlias");

  var property= settings.Value("MyProperty");

    You could try this and compare performance.

    var settings = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "MyNodeAlias");
var property = settings.Value("MyProperty");

    Another option you have, is have a picker on your home node that allows you to pick the settings node.

    Then you can do Model.Root().Value<IPublishedContent>("settings") to get the setting node.

    All of the suggested options can work, and in reality there isn't much of a performance issue in using Siblings approach as everything is in memory anyway.

    Thanks

    Any benefit using something like

       var settings = Umbraco.ContentSingleAtXPath("//MyNodeAlias");
