I have a property on all document types headline and right now it is used in redundant code in two (could be more) view files:

Meta data partial view:

<title>@(Model.Value<string>("headline") != "" ? Model.Value("headline") : Model.Name)</title>

Different template views:

<h1>@(Model.Value<string>("headline") != "" ? Model.Value("headline") : Model.Name)</h1>

I am now trying to extend the Model so I can use Model.Value("PageTitle) / Model.PageTitle instead.

But I must admit that I can´t find out. I have done a lot og Razor in views, but not yet worked with my own custom classes i .NET nor Umbraco.

One thing I have found out, though: This doesn´t work (and also seems to be tied up on only the SiteHome document type)! :)

namespace Umbraco.Web.PublishedModels
{
    public partial class SiteHome
    {
        public string PageTitle
        {
            get
            {
               return Model.Value<string>("headline") != "" ? Model.Value("headline") : Model.Name;
            }
        }
    }
}
