    Style first/newest item different from the other ones

    Hi

    I'm building a news list and need to style the first item/newest item different from the other ones. The items have all the same doctype.

    How do I do that with razor?

    I think I should make a for each loop but how to pick out the first item?

    Another thing.
    I have some items with a doctype and only need to show the first item/newest item - right now I have used .Take(1) and a for each loop but there should be a more smarter way to do it - right? :)

    Hi Michael,

    What you could do is if you are making use of NodeById to get your news Items from a particular folder

    var news = Model.NodeById(1105);

     foreach(dynamic n in news.Children.Where("Visible").Where("NodeTypeAlias == \"docType\"").OrderBy("createDate  desc")){

    <li class="@Library.If(n.IsFirst(), "newest" ,"others")">
    <a href="@n.Url">@n.Name</a>
    </li> 
    }

    and to reply to your other question just add .Take(1)

    foreach(dynamic n in news.Children.Where("Visible").Where("NodeTypeAlias == \"docType\"").OrderBy("createDate  desc").Take(1)){ }

    Hope this helps

    Hi,

    To do something different use the .IsFirst() method. This is documented here 

    To get the first item you simply use .First(), which is documented here.

    in general there is a lot of good documentation on the use of dynamic nodes is this part of the documentation.
