Hi Guys - I've been having this problem a lot latley and I'm not sure the best way to work around it. Whenever I try to access an empty string property, rather than returning an empty string it returns, umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicXml.
Do you guys know a good way to get umbraco to stop returning this in the event of empty strings or do you know a good way to check for this rather than doing a typeof (DynamicXml).
Hi Guys, I'm using 6.0.1. For the time being I think I will just do a Model.HasValue. I might just create a small helper method to do this step for me but this will work for now.
Empty property string returns umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicXml when using DynamicNode

Hi Andrew,
Have you tried checking if the property Alias is empty or not before displaying the value?
if(Model.HasValue("alias")){//do something
}
or
if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.Alias)){//do something
}
Hi Andrew, what version of Umbraco are you using? Also are you having this problem with content properties or media properties (or both)?
There is a existing issue you can vote for relating to empty properties on media items http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-579
A workaround is to use something like:
@using umbraco.MacroEngines
@{
if (Model.simple.GetType() == typeof(DynamicXml)){
@Html.Raw(Model.simple.ToXml().ToString())
} else {
@Html.Raw(Model.simple.ToString())
}
}
Thanks,
Jeavon
