When looping through a list of nodes using something like .Children or Descendants etc I can use Linq extensions such ad orderBy, Skip, Take etc.
e.g. foreach(var item in Model,Children.OrderBy("Name").Skip(x).Take(y))
However in one situation I am using a function that returns a DynamicNodeList as my source. When I try to use these methods on this list I receive the dollowing error when trying to save the file
e.g. foreach(dynamic item in MyFunctionThatReturnsDynamicNodeList().OrderBy("Name").Skip(x).Take(y).ToList())
The type arguments for method 'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList.OrderBy(string)' cannot be inferred from
the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am still getting an error. This time
error CS1061: 'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList' does not contain a definition for 'ToArray' and no extension method 'ToArray' accepting a first argument of type 'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Can anybody tell me why this could be?
you might have some look with the ToArray() method and then revert to linq
eg
DNL.ToArray().OrderBy(x => x.GetPropertyValue<string>("Name")) etc...

Old thread but I found the answer to a similar problem to be:
DNL.Items.OrderBy(x => x.GetProperty etc
is working on a reply...
