So the only way is to loop the documents then :/

Looking at the source code for Umbraco 4.0.4, there is no equivalent to "GetNodeByXpath". There is the method, on the Document class:

public static Document[] GetChildrenForTree(int NodeId)

which says it is the optimized version, to recursively get documents below NodeId.

Hi Suzyb,

FYI, there are some uQuery methods to help enumerate documents, so you could something like:

Document doc = GetDocumentsByType("consultantProfile")
                 .Where(x => x.GetProperty("userID") == userID)
                 .FirstOrDefault();

or if you know that the document you're looking for has a specific parent:

Document doc = uQuery.GetDocument(parentID)
                 .GetChildDocuments()
                 .Where(x => x.GetProperty("userID") == userID)
                 .FirstOrDefault();

HTH,

if iterating though the Document objects is too slow, how about querying the Lucene index with Examine ?

Ended up just looping through the documents.  The code should only be run very occasionally so hopefully if it's slow it wont be that big an issue.

is working on a reply...
