Get property in inline C#
I'm trying to show content in my masterpage depending on a true/false property on my document type. I'm using inline C# and i know this looks like it would be easier to solve with a macro but with the full context it's not.

I got this so far.
```
<% if (umbraco.library.GetXmlNodeById("0").GetProperty("protectContent").Value.ToString() == "1") {%> 
    <pre>Showing protected content</pre>
<%}%>
```
and umbraco.library.GetXmlNodeById("0") is instead of $currentPage

Update: This is the error message i recieve when running this code:

Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator' does not contain a definition for 'GetProperty' and no extension method 'GetProperty' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hi, what data are you trying to get? And why are you using GetXmlNodeById

Hi Johan,

I think this should be solved by creating a macro, but I see you're already aware of this ;-)

The error in your code is exactly what your error messages says: the System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator doesn't contains a method with the name "GetProperty".

The return type of the umbraco.library.GetXmlNodeById() method is an XPathNodeIterator. What you'll want is to get a new Node object when in the context of ASP.NET. So, something like this should help you out:
```
<%
     var node = new Node(1234);
     if(node.GetProperty("protectedContent").Value.ToString().Equals("1")
     {
        //Your output here
     }
%>
```
Without knowing anything about the context of this issue, I guess youøre already aware of the procedure of protecting content from members? :-)

Thanks Bo! The final code looks like this:
```
<%if (umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("protectContent").Value.ToString().Equals("1")) {%> 
        <pre>Showing protected content</pre>
<%}%>
```
I got the members part under control, thanx :)
