Hey all!

Just wondering if someone could please explain the following:

I've got the following code:

 @{
      var mediaItems = Library.NodeById(1191).GetChildrenAsList.Items;
      if(mediaItems.Any()) {
         var tvItems = mediaItems.Where(dn => dn.NodeTypeAlias == "Television");
         var radioItems = mediaItems.Where(dn => dn.NodeTypeAlias == "Audio");
         var printItems = mediaItems.Where(dn => dn.NodeTypeAlias == "Radio");
         if(tvItems.Any() || radioItems.Any() || printItems.Any()) {
           <div>moo</div>
         }
      }
    }

If i do it that way dealing with the variable assignments doesn't work with the lambdas. However if i do it the following using DynamicNode instead of Libray.GetNodeByID, I then get access to the Where clauses.

 @{
      var mediaItems = new DynamicNode(1191).GetChildrenAsList.Items;
      if(mediaItems.Any()) {
         var tvItems = mediaItems.Where(dn => dn.NodeTypeAlias == "Television");
         var radioItems = mediaItems.Where(dn => dn.NodeTypeAlias == "Audio");
         var printItems = mediaItems.Where(dn => dn.NodeTypeAlias == "Radio");
         if(tvItems.Any() || radioItems.Any() || printItems.Any()) {
           <div>moo</div>
         }
      }
    }

An explanation would be MOST appreciated
