ok bit of progress forgot the @{} wrapper which is core razor DOH!! Ok so now i get missing 

The type or namespace name 'DynamicNode' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

so where does DynamicNode live?

Regards

Hi Ismail, to make the parser sure you're adding code and not text you have to enclose the code in @{ }

Something like:

 <umbraco:macro runat="server" language="razor">
  @{
    dynamic node = new DynamicNode(1064);
 }
  <p>@node.Name</p>
</umbraco:macro>

Jonas,

According to http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/17682-DynamicXml-not-working you can do some crazy xml stuff my property called hcardAddress of type embed content which stores xml of format:

<hcardAddress>
  <data>
    <item id="1">
      <name propertyid="1">fn org</name>
      <value propertyid="2">Cogworks Ltd</value>
    </item>
    <item id="2">
      <name propertyid="1">street-address</name>
      <value propertyid="2">11-15 Betterton Street</value>
    </item>
    <item id="3">
      <name propertyid="1">locality</name>
      <value propertyid="2">London</value>
    </item>
    <item id="4">
      <name propertyid="1">postal-code</name>
      <value propertyid="2">WC2H 9BP</value>
    </item>
    <item id="5">
      <name propertyid="1">email</name>
      <value propertyid="2">[email protected]</value>
    </item>
    <item id="6">
      <name propertyid="1">tel</name>
      <value propertyid="2">020 7470 8882</value>
    </item>
  </data>
</hcardAddress>

should allow me to do something like:

<umbraco:macro runat="server" language="razor">
                     @using umbraco.MacroEngines
                      
                     @{ 
                         dynamic node = new DynamicNode(1064);
                     } 
                     @node.hcardAddress.data.item[0].name
                  </umbraco:macro>

however when i try this i get Error loading Razor Script 

'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicXml' does not contain a definition for 'data'

any ideas?

Many thanks

Ismail

Oh, very cool, I didnt try it yet, something like:

@node.HcardAddress.item[0].name 

Try @node.hcardAddress.item[0].name?

lol I keep posting at the same time as other people..

WOOOOOOHOOHOHOH wtf RAZOR KICKS ASS!!!!!

so i take it my default it will capitalise your alias.  Also how would you do where name =fn org would you loop through all of them with if statement or can you use linq?

Regards

Ismail

Should just work like this I think:

@node.hcardAddress.item.Where("name == {@0}", "somename")

LOL "WOOOOOOHOOHOHOH wtf RAZOR KICKS ASS!!!!!" +1

is working on a reply...
