    Accessing properties when using uQuery.GetNodesByXml

    How do I access properties, I thought i'd just be able to use the . notation as below, but this gives me an error when trying to use previewContent.

    @using uComponents.Core
    @using uComponents.Core.uQueryExtensions

    @{
      string xml = uQuery.GetCurrentNode().GetProperty<string>("articlePreviews");
      var nodes = uQuery.GetNodesByXml(xml);  
        
      <ul>
        @foreach( var node in @nodes )
        {     
         <li>
           <h2>@node.Name</h2>
           <div>@node.previewContent</div>
           <a href="@node.Url">Learn more >></a>
         </li>
        }
      </ul>
      }

    I believe @node is of type UmbracoNode or something like that, this is not a dynamic node like in the built in Razor engine. So you have to revert back to the "old" way of doing it:

    @node.GetProperty("previewContent").Value

    If you want to use the dynamic "." notation, you could do it just fine without using uQuery, try something like (untested):

    @{  var nodes = Library.ToDynamicXml(Model.GetPropertyValue("articlePreviews")); }
    
    <ul>
    @foreach (var node in nodes) {
      <li>@node.previewContent</li>
    }
    </ul>
