You can also use that Razor example in C#, but you first need to get the model:

dynamic model = new umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode(umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent());
var node = model.Parent.Descendants("MyDocType")

Hi guys, sorry I didn't reply straight away, was very busy with another project. Thanks for you answers but unfortunately I can't make to work neither of them.

When I try

using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory;
...
Node parent = uQuery.GetCurrentNode().Parent;
List nodes = parent.GetChildNodesByType("MyDocType");

It can't build it, I get this error:

'umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node' does not contain a definition for 'GetChildNodesByType' and no extension method 'GetChildNodesByType' accepting a first argument of type 'umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

dynamic model =new umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode(umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent());
var node = model.Parent.Descendants("MyDocType")

doesn't build as well. I get:

The type or namespace name 'DynamicNode' does not exist in the namespace 'umbraco.MacroEngines' (are you missing an assembly reference?)   
Also it doesn't like model.Parent part :
One or more types required to compile a dynamic expression cannot be found. Are you missing references to Microsoft.CSharp.dll and System.Core.dll?   

Which dlls do I need to reference? I added umbraco, cms, interfaces, businesslogic to my projects.

Thanks,

Zakhar

Hi Zakhar,

Sorry, for the uQuery example above, you'll need:

using uComponents.Core;
using uComponents.Core.uQueryExtensions; // (this namespace has the extension method GetChildNodesByType)

HTH,

Hendy

Node current = new Node(Node.GetCurrent().Id);
Node parent = new Node(current.Parent.Id);
Nodes siblings = parent.Children;
foreach (Node node in siblings){
if (node.NodeTypeAlias == "somedoctype")
{ do stuff }}

Not at all tested, but I have done something similar in the past to populate a dropdown ;) uQuery is probably a bit more tidy.

Hi Zakhar,

For DynamicNode you need to add a reference to the umbraco.MacroEngines.dll file.
