Hi Nadine,

can you post the code where you assign the property nodes? If you are using dynamics then I would suggest moving to strongly types then you can use:

 nodes= nodes.Where(x => x.getProperty<String>("contentHeadline").Contains(searchTerm));

Like in your update.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nadine

Let's rewrite all code to the strongly typed, then your code with linq where query will be working.

Dear all,

thank you for your fast reply.

I select the nodes like this

CurrentPage.OverviewPage.First().Children;

How can I convert it to the strongly typed? I am on a UmbracoTemplatePage.

Thanks

Hi Nadine

What type of property editor is OverviewPage? Is it some type of Node picker?

/Alex

If it's multinode tree picker, then the code will look like:

var nodes = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("OverviewPage");

nodes = nodes.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<String>("contentHeadline").Contains(searchTerm));

The overviewpage is the first Children of the currentPage with a specific documenttype , it is not a property.

So you need child nodes of first child?

Yes, exactly.

But this needs to be more specific

var nodes = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Children.First().Children;

This selections " Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Children" must relates to the DocumentType "Fragen"

At the Moment my selector for the overviewpage is

CurrentPage.Fragen;

var nodes = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("Fragen")).First().Children;

This is more specific - first child and docTypeAlias equals "Fragen"

Ok, I think we are on the right track. Thank you very much!! But first, I have to fix the subsequent faults. I cant access the method "Count()" for example or the properties directly. I think I get the properties from the method "getPropertyValue" ?

Nadine, you also can use MoldesBuilder for easier access to properties.

You have to cast the node to ModelsBuilder type, for example you can get typed fragen node like that:

var fragetNodeTyped = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Children.First() as Fragen;

For this statement, I get the error: 'System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements'

var nodes = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("Fragen")).First().Children;

I looked at the Template for the DocumentTypeAlias , it is "Fragen", so it should be ok.

Nadine, did you look at a template? DocumentTypeAlias it's in the document type settings.

Just one more Question:

How can I check the number of elements from this statement

var nodes = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("fragen")).First().Children;

I hope that's it. :)

Sorry and thank you, guys. It seems not to work, because I overwrote an existing variable with a dynamic data type.

But now I get the correct result. AWESOME :) You saved my day! Thanks!

You are welcome, Nadine, have a great day too.

It's nice to be involved in process rewriting dynamic types code to strongly typed :))

is working on a reply...
