Hi,

Me thinks you're really into linq... might have to wait for linq2umbraco to make such calls :p

Anyways, you could also use some smart xslt to get the same results:

-Build an xslt file that does the filtering and the sorting of the nodes

-Transform the cached xml content against the xslt using the .net api's such as the XslCompiledTransform class.

Hope this helps.

All right Dirk De Grave,

I am fine without linq. just give me some code snipet that works fine for above.  I just want to loop through nodes of certain types. i would do ordering manually.

i have certain code for this tasks (found from forum only) but not working.

umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node node = new umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node(1158);
umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Nodes childrenNodes = node.Children;

this gives error to me.

Any help would be appriciated.

Regards,

Jigar

Does this help:

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/2763-List-all-child-nodes-using-API?sort=oldest

I've just added a howto article in  the wiki that may help.

when using those extension methods you can write the following: (not tested)

Node MyNode = new Node(123);
var events = MyNode.AllChildren().Where(n => n.NodeTypeAlias == "Events").OrderBy(n => n.GetPropertyAsDateTime("EventEndDate"));

Hope that helps.

Or you can use ChildrenAsTable (which then can be sorted or filtered)

Node MyNode = new Node(123);
DataTable = MyNode.ChildrenAsTable("nodeType");

Maybe it loads all childs in single query and may be faster.
