Single Selection List Items - If Statement Format for .cshtml file
Hello Everyone! I'm using v4.7..

I am trying to allow my users to link a (Location & Link to a Map) to each individual blog post. I am using uBlogsy and am trying to update the (uBlogsyShowPost.cshtml) file.

I have created a dataType called Locations as you can see below.

Now below I have kind of a sample of code that expresses how I would like to have it. Where I create a varible from my dataType (uBlogsylocationPicker) and if the value is equal to 64 then it displays name of the building as well as a customized link for that specific building.
```
  @{ if (Model.NodeTypeAlias == "uBlogsyPost"){ 
             var uBlogsyLocate = @d.GetProperty("uBlogsylocationPicker");

             if (uBlogsyLocate == "64")
                {
                 <text>Map Location: </text><a href="/link/64">@uBlogsyLocate</a>
                }
             if (uBlogsyLocate == "65")
                {
                <text>Map Location: </text><a href="/link/65">@uBlogsyLocate</a>
                }

             else { }                                  
 }
    }
```
However this doesn't work. I always get an error that says..

[....Operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'umbraco.interfaces.IProperty' and 'string']

How can I make this happen? is there a better way?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I haven't done this myself, but it looks like you could try:
```
if(uBlogsyLocate.ToString() =="64")
```
to get you where you want. I would surmise that ToString() for IProperty will return the value of that property.

Nice, thanks Brian.. I had to change it to this:
```
if(uBlogsyLocate.ToString()=="Student Union")
```
instead of the numeric value.. but thats fine with me.
