Problem with GetProperty
Hello!

First I should start by explaining the context of the problem. This is my content structure:

When I am in the Master Swedish page, I am running a razor script that is supposed to go the the Master Node, search all blog posts and show the ones that have the swedishChoice property set to true, like so:
```
@using umbraco.MacroEngines;
@{
DynamicNode contentRoot = new DynamicNode(-1);
}

@foreach (DynamicNode n in contentRoot.Descendants("BlogPost")){

if(@n.GetProperty("swedishChoice") == 1){
    <div class="mp_blog">
    <div class="mp_blog_Preview">@n.GetProperty("blogText")</div>
    <div class="mp_blog_Date">@n.CreateDate.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy")</div>
    <div class="mp_blog_Link"><a href="@n.Url">lue lisää</a></div>
    </div>}
}
```
What I get is an error saying that the script could not be loaded and it happens because I put the @n.GetProperty("swedishChoice") in the if statement. Shoulndn't this work?

I suspect this has something to do with the way I am accessing the Master Node. Is there a better way? I tried accessing the BlogPost nodes by creating this variable:
```
var blogs = @Model.Up().Descendants("BlogPost");
```
but I get the same type of error.

Thank you for your time.

Have you tried ?
```
Model.NodeById(pageId).Descendants("BlogPost");
```
And I think you should use:

GetPropertyValue instead of GetProperty

Hi Joao

you should either use

<div class="mp_blog_Preview">@n.GetProperty("blogText").Value</div>

<div class="mp_blog_Preview">@n.GetPropertyValue("blogText")</div>

so your code must be like below:

@using umbraco.MacroEngines;
@{
DynamicNode contentRoot = new DynamicNode(-1);
}

@foreach (DynamicNode n in contentRoot.Descendants("BlogPost").Items){

if(@n.GetPropertyValue("swedishChoice") == "1"){
    <div class="mp_blog">
    <div class="mp_blog_Preview">@n.GetPropertyValue("blogText")</div>
    <div class="mp_blog_Date">@n.CreateDate.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy")</div>
    <div class="mp_blog_Link"><a href="@n.Url">lue lisää</a></div>
    </div><!--mp_blog-->}
}

I've also added .Items to Descendants(BlogPost") to get the return type List<DynamicNode>

Using GetPropertyValue worked well! Also having the number 1 in between " " also did the trick. Thanks.
