    Get Parent Node using C# (4.6.1)

    Hello,

    I'm having difficulty with the new umbraco.NodeFactory.Node class.

    Previously (using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory), I was able to get the parent node like this:

    Node n = new Node(1234);
    Node p = n.Parent;

    Doing that in ver 4.6.1 (using umbraco.NodeFactory.Node) gives me this error:

    "Cannot implicitly convert type 'umbraco.interfaces.INode' to 'umbraco.NodeFactory.Node'."

    I could go back to using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node - but I try to avoid using depricated classes.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,

    David Hill

    Hi,

    Not sure why it returns INode instead of Node, but as a workaround I've used 

    Node n = new Node(1234);
    Node p = new Node(n.Parent.Id);

    I use an extension method:

    public static Node ParentNode(this Node node)
{
    return new Node(node.Parent.Id);
}

    but getting a simple parent node shouldn't be this difficult.
