Hi all,

I'm trying to get my head around parsing XML (and DynamicXml for that matter) in Razor.

I have a custom datatype which stores parsable XML in the Umbraco XML cache and the structure is as follows:

<ArrayOfMyObject>
     <MyObject>
         <ChildNode1>Text</ChildNode1>
   <ChildNode2>Text</ChildNode2>
     </MyObject>
</ArrayOfMyObject>

In Razor, when I try to access the property, let's just call it "MyProperty", like this:

var xml = Model.MyProperty

It gives me an error telling me that MyProperty doesn't exist. When I just output the property like this:

@Model.GetPropertyValue("MyProperty")

It outputs the XML structure.

When I do this:

var xml = @Library.ToDynamicXml(artist.GetPropertyValue("MyProperty"));

It outputs:

MacroEngines.DynamicXml

So it seems that my datatypes XML is not stored as DynamicXml? Or? Also, when I try to loop through the DynamicXml after using the library method like this:

foreach(var item in xml.ArrayOfMyObject.MyObject)
{

}

It tells me that ArrayOfMyObject can't be found.

So, am I forced to parse through my XML the standard way in C# by using XDocument and XElement?

Any clarification on this is greatly appreciated! :-)

Thanks in advance.

All the best,

Bo
