}

Btw, here's an exampje of how to use this:

rptMoreContent.DataSource = DatatypesHelper.ResolveEmbeddedContent(CurrentNode.GetPropertyValue("content")).Select(x => new
{
    IconUri = MediaHelper.GetMediaUrl(int.Parse(x.First(y => y.Key == "icon").Value)),
    Title = x.First(y => y.Key == "title").Value,
    Description = x.First(y => y.Key == "description").Value.Replace("\n", "<br />")
});
rptMoreContent.DataBind();

Hello,

I was using the embedded content control in Umbraco. I wanted to read the data in .NET. I have seen your code but I was wondering how can we get the embedded content XML into .NET. Can you please post the full code example.

Thanks,

Subba.

Well just use:

Node.GetCurrent().getProperty("yourPropertyAlias").Value

I was using this productNode.GetProperty("embeddedVariant").Value; to get the value and I am getting the embedded content data as: SWhite1000SRed1001MGreen1002

(which is nothing but 1. Size: S, Color: White, Value: 1000 

2. Size: S, Color: Red, Value: 1001

3. Size: M, Color: Green, Value: 1002)

When I retrieve the values I wanted to get the values as key value pairs as you mentioned in the example.

Here is the embedded content screenshot:

Hi Rao,

Im using the "productNode.GetProperty("embeddedVariant").Value" and I get the following:

<data><item id="1"><TestName propertyid="1">Available colours</TestName><TestValue propertyid="2">yellow, green, purple, orange</TestValue><TestLinkedMediaItem propertyid="3">1093</TestLinkedMediaItem><TestLinkedContentItem propertyid="4">1070</TestLinkedContentItem><TestValidFrom propertyid="5">2012-03-13 15:46</TestValidFrom></item><item id="3"><Name propertyid="1">package measurments</Name><Value propertyid="2">50x80x40</Value><LinkedMediaItem propertyid="3">1097</LinkedMediaItem><LinkedContentItem propertyid="4">1068</LinkedContentItem><ValidFrom propertyid="5">2012-03-31 06:13</ValidFrom></item><item id="2"><Name propertyid="1">package weight</Name><Value propertyid="2">50k</Value><LinkedMediaItem propertyid="3">1092</LinkedMediaItem><LinkedContentItem propertyid="4">1064</LinkedContentItem><ValidFrom propertyid="5">2020-03-11 17:40</ValidFrom></item></data>

Any suggestions on why do I get the tags as well?

Many thanks

Ok So I think I've got it - If someone knows better way how to extract the node's property would love to see it.

Here is my code:

 
@using @using System.Xml;

 
@{
    var currentNode = umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent();
   var strValue =  @currentNode.GetProperty("productSpecification").Value;

    XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
    xmlDoc.LoadXml(strValue);
    XmlNode element = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/data");
    
    <ul>
        @foreach(XmlNode item in @element.ChildNodes)
        {

   

             <li>
              @Html.Raw(item["Name"]!=null ? item["Name"].InnerText : ""): 
              @Html.Raw(item["Value"] != null ? item["Value"].InnerText : "")
            </li>
                     
           
          }
    </ul>
                     

        }Regards,

For Displaying String out of HTML.

@Html.Raw(@productNode.GetPropertyValue("embeddedVariant"))

is working on a reply...
