Hey Christina

In your first line you are asking to transform the value in the "PuffColor" property into a IPublishedContent

Next you are asking to retrieve the string of the prevalue base on a numerical string value.

An IPublishedContent is not a numerical string, it is an object.

Depending on your umbraco version, you can get the string value immediatly

Try rendering the value of the puffcolor straight away

@Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.GetPropertyValue<string>("PuffColor")

if that renders a number, fetch it trough the prevalues

var colorIdAsString=Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.GetPropertyValue<string>("PuffColor");
var color=Umbraco.GetPreValueAsString(colorIdAsString);

As a sideNode, why are you doing Umbraco.AssignedContentItem? When you call a partialView, you automatically pass the model from the View you are on. So if your Main view/template and the partialView have the same inherit at the top @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage or @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage you can just use Model.GetPropertyValue

Hi Sven Thanks alot but i still have problem I have a masterpage from where I call the Partvial View and I wanted to access i from the sub page with another template. It doesn't work with the Model.GetPropertyValue, so i hade to use var color=Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.GetPropertyValue("PuffColor"); But i Noticed that I can use item @Umbraco.Field("puffColor") I still have a problem to convert

 var color=Umbraco.GetPreValueAsString(colorIdAsString);

CS1502: The overlay method that best matches Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper.GetPreValueAsString (int) has some invalid arguments /Christina

Does Model.Content.GetPropertyValue work? (if not, show me the line that start with @inherits in the template where you are placing this code)

try var color=Umbraco.GetPreValueAsString(Convert.ToInt32(colorIdAsString));

is working on a reply...
