Related links datatype - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I've looked at the documentation and it reads as I'd expect. However whne I ima trying to use the related links datatype I am getting a null reference.

I can output
```
Model.Content.GetProperty("related").Value.Tostring()
```
and it outpusts the content as a string. But
```
Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<DynamicXml>("related")
```
is throwing the null exception.

Any ideas?

Hi Tony,

Are you using Umbraco v7 or v6?

Could you post the exception and also the string value?

Ah cool, take a look at this new documentation for related links in v7 as it has changed so the Razor sample is slightly different.

Aha! Cheers.

I'll need to stop using google to find documentation

np, actually maybe a note on the v6 editors linking to v7 version would also be useful :-)
