Children of note that has a specific property = true
Hi Guys

I'm trying to list a selection of nodes, that has a certain property = true.

As an example I want to list all the sales-departments that sells a specific product.

On @Model i have a Text-string in which i type the exact name of the child.property I want to be true for my list

So far I've gotten this:
```
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{ 
  var Department = @Model.findDep; 
  var parent = @Model.NodeById(1095);
  if (parent != null) 
  {
    <ul id="find-dep">
    @foreach (var item in parent.Children.Where("Visible")) 
    {
      if(item.Department)
      {
        <li id=@item.Company>
          <a href="@item.Url"><em>@item.Name</em></a>
        </li>
       }
    }
    </ul>
  }
}
```
The @Department returns the correct text-string, but the If-sentence returns nothing.

How can I use the "Department"-variable as the property-field I want to check. If I hardcode the variable-text the if-sentence works.

I hope somebody can help me :-)

Hi,

So @Model.findDep contains the property alias that you want to check is true or false?

You could try changing your if statement to:
```
if (item.GetPropertyValue(Department) == "1")
```
That should work. Note GetPropertyValue returns a string so you need to check that way.

But it would probably be best if you could do this in your foreach loop, I think this should work:
```
    @foreach (var item in parent.Children.Where("Visible && " + Department)) 
```
This should be the same as writing "Visible && yourPropertyAlias"

Hope this helps,
Tom

Both things work :-) I took the @foreach solution, as I then didn't need an if-sentence :-)

Thank you very much :-)
