    DynamicNode passed to helper results in ability to access node properties

    I have a problem that involves MNTP which returns CSV data and ahelper that renders node data. When the DynamicNode is passed into the helper I lose access to the properties and not sure why as I can step into the script and access properties fine before it passed in?

    @{
        var panels = Model._SidebarContent.Split(',');
    
        foreach (var panel in panels)
        {
            var node = Model.NodeById(panel);
            string nodeType = node.NodeTypeAlias;
    
            switch (nodeType)
            {
                case "ExampleNodeType":
          // Properties accessible via dot notation here e.g. Node.Myproperty
                    @ExampleRenderNodeTypeHelper(node) 
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
    @helper ExampleRenderNodeTypeHelper(dynamic contentNode)
    { // Properties no longer accessible since contentNode is considered an 'object' type now? @contentNode.MyProperty }

    I'm using Umbraco 4.11.4 and not experienced this before. The only thing I am doing different to what I normally do is returning CSV data from the MNTP instead of XML.

    Hi Simon,

    Could it be that the parameter type should be a DynamicNode?

    @helper ExampleRenderNodeTypeHelper(DynamicNode contentNode)

    Cheers, Lee.

    I've already tried that and it results in the following:

    'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode' does not contain a definition for 'MyProperty' and no extension method 'MyProperty' accepting a first argument of type 'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
