Thought the same as you Sebastian. But apparently thats not the case. So .XPath("billeder/data/item") works for me now. Thanks for the effort.

Why would you want to use an XPath for this? In Razor you can work much easier with Embedded Content. Here is an example:

Here is the Embedded Content xml:

<projectUrls>
  <data>
    <item id="1">
      <url propertyid="1">http://www.project2.nl</url>;
      <title propertyid="2">Project 2</title>
    </item>
    <item id="2">
      <url propertyid="1">http://project3.nl</url>;
      <title propertyid="2">Project 3</title>
    </item>
    <item id="3">
      <url propertyid="1">http://project4.nl</url>;
      <title propertyid="2">Project 4</title>
    </item>
  </data>
</projectUrls>

Here is my Razor code:

<ul>
    @*Show the url's that are selected with the embedded content package.*@
    @foreach (dynamic item in Model.projectUrls)
    {
        <li>
            <a href="@item.url" target="_blank">@item.title</a>
        </li>
    }
</ul>

Wow thanks Jeroen, that was just what i was looking for. I´m quite new to Razor, so thanks alot for the example. Sadly enough, i have allready voted for MVP :-)

Perfect, just what I was looking for... :)

OK, I followed Joreon's post and had this working. I've updated the site from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1 and it's stopped working

My code:

 var embedded = Model.Embedded;
    foreach (dynamic item in embedded)
    {
        <p>
            @item.Selected.ToString()
        </p>
    }

My XML

<Embedded>
  <data>
    <item id="1">
      <Selected propertyid="2">1195</Selected>
    </item>
    <item id="2">
      <Selected propertyid="2">1177</Selected>
    </item>
  </data>
</Embedded>

Am I missing something?

The dynamic xml has been changed (improved) in 4.7.1. You can read all about it in this blogpost: http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2011/9/15/umbraco-razor-feature-walkthrough%E2%80%93part-6.aspx.

OK, this works

@item.InnerText.ToString()

But, surely if I had more than one attribute in there it wouldn't?

Will give that a read

@Tony Kiernan Thank you for this hint. So we now need to deal with the @item in your example (and our actual case!) as a DynamicXml now which is being treated and working differently.  The InnerText property seems OK if we wanted to deal with a giant flattened string, but we don't, so now the challenge is to find out how to work around this and drill into our tree. (Unforunately, the "Razor Feature Walkthough" has no suitable examples or API published for us to reference, and we are left guessing as to how to query our EmbeddedContent data nodes in a convenient manner.) For example, there is an InnerText, as you showed, but no such InnerXml nor dynamic properties to use instead??

What we are really missing at this point is a "here is how to convert stuff (Razor over EmbeddedContent) that used to work in 4.7.0 to work now in 4.7.1". I've tried probably dozens of different combinations and guessing now at property/method names and now I guess next step is to download Umbraco source and find out what DynamicXml's API is...?

Thank you for your help!

I perhaps should start a new topic for this, since I didn't realize at first this is marked as "solved" already per a five-month old original message...

this is work for me :

@item.propertyAlias.InnerText.ToString()

The XPath method in razor will give you access to the whole cache, so querying from the root (ie //somenode) will query from the root of your site not the current node as you'd expect in XSLT. Removing those preceding slashes fixes this

how would i go about getting a SPECIFIC node in the embedded content? i am new to razor and still don't quite get it all.

thanks,

is working on a reply...
