something like new Node(1111).ChildrenAsList.Where(c => c.NodeTypeAlias == "someAlias"); no longer works

is that still best practice for querying.. the documentation above doesn't have any examples.

Depends on which interface you required.For just reading properties I prefer

uQuery.GetNodeById(id)

I think it depends on where you're running this code.

Inside a View or Partial, you could use:

var content = Umbraco.TypedContent(id);

This returns IPublishedContent, so you can do things like content.GetProperty("alias")

You can also use the "dynamic" way:

var content = Umbraco.Content(1234)

Then you can do things like content.alias.  The first way is probably recommended and faster, though.  There's a little bit of info on both of these methods here:  Querying

There's also the ContentService, which has a .GetById() method you can use.  This returns a Content object which has its own methods for property access.  At the moment I'm not exactly sure if this is meant to be used on the front-end or not, though.

hi Tom,

Great article :

Thanks, Alex

Hello,

The content service is to fetch the data from the database instead of the xml cache.

It's better to use IPublishedContent:

Hi Jeroen )

What about working in services and api's ?
