You're a gentleman - thanks :)

Actually I just used this and I get back in one big string of all the values?  If I do this

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetPreValues('1102')"/>

It just gives me

valueonevaluetwovaluethreevaluefour

This is what I was trying to do?  Am I missing something?

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetPreValues('1102')/node">    
    <option value="{@id}">
        <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
    </option>
</xsl:for-each>

Thanks

Sorted it :)

   <xsl:variable name="topicList" select="umbraco.library:GetPreValues('1102')"/>
        <xsl:for-each select="$topicList//preValue">  
            <option value="{@id}">
                <xsl:value-of select="current()"/>
            </option>
    </xsl:for-each>

I'm trying to achieve the same thing with Razor - the code below outputs "SmallMediumLarge"

<select class="item_size">
@{
  var preValues = umbraco.library.GetPreValues(1081);
  foreach(var pv in preValues)
  {
    <option value="">@pv</option>
  }
}
</select>

Any ideas how to achieve what Lee has done using Razor?

Hey Sean, you can check out the Wiki here. Should work...

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbracolibrary/getprevalueasstring

Cheers.

@Sean:

You can't iterate directly the object given back by umbraco.library.GetPreValues(), it's a XPathNodeIterator

XPathNodeIterator preValues = umbraco.library.GetPreValues(yourDataTypeId);

 @foreach (XPathNavigator section in preValues) { foreach (XPathNavigator child in section.SelectChildren("preValue", "")) { <option value="@child.Value">@child.Value</option> } }

BTW: this two posts send me in the right direction:

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/22370-Weird-dropdown-behavior-displays-the-wrong-value

and this one to improve the iteration code:
