razor boolean issue

I have a field called isFeatured which is a true/false boolean field. I am using this is in a Partial View Macro.

I am trying to us this in a if statement but can not seem to get the boolean value out:3

if (@p.GetProperty<bool>("isFeatured").Value)
{
do something
}

if (@p.GetProperty<bool>("isFeatured"))
{
do something
}

if (@p.GetProperty("isFeatured"))
{
do something
}

All the above fail causing an error. Tyring to convert to a string:

if (@p.GetProperty<string>("isFeatured").Value == "1")
{
do seomthing
}

if (@p.GetProperty("isFeatured").Value == "True")
{
do seomthing
}

Also fails.

Any help would be appreciated please.

Thanks

Hi Hugh,

As Jeavon suggested in his last post it should be

if(p.GetPropertyValue<bool>("isFeature")){ //something}

Hi Fuji

No, tried that too...

if(@p.GetPropertyValue<bool>("isFeature"))
{
}

causes: Error loading Partial View script (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/buslistingbycat.cshtml)

Next up, the boolean if. Should be like this:

if (p.GetPropertyValue<bool>("isFeatured"))
{
//do something
}

Two important points, you cannot have a @ in the code e.g. if (@p.GetPropertyValue second point you should alsways use GetPropertyValue("thing") not GetProperty("thing").Value.

Thanks Jeavon. I will try these now. Sorry to keep asking, but one more. This Partial Macro is driving me nutts. I am tryint to format a datetime and it keeps giving me an error.

<li>
@p.GetPropertyValue("PostDate")
</li>

gives me: 1/18/2014 12:00:00 A

i have tried: @p.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsPublishDate").ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy") but it fails....

No problem Hugh, because of the type conversion, you need some additional brackets:

 @(p.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsPublishDate")).ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy")

Hugh 30 posts 64 karma points

Jan 20, 2014 @ 11:33

Hi Jeavon, that did not work. It gave me the following 1/19/2014 12:00:00 AM.TOSTRING("MMMM DD, YYYY")

here is the code for your refenrence:

foreach (var p in articles)

{

<li>

@(p.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsPublishDate")).ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy")

<a href="#" class="title">@p.GetProperty("pageHeading").Value</a>

<a href="#" class="author" title="Post by @p.CreatorName">@p.CreatorName</a>

@p.GetProperty("smallDescription").Value

</li>

}

Jan 20, 2014 @ 11:39

Ah sorry, bracket in the wrong place:

<li>
    <span class="m-tag"> @(p.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsPublishDate").ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy"))</span>
    <a href="#" class="title">@p.GetPropertyValue("pageHeading")</a>
    <a href="#" class="author" title="Post by @p.CreatorName">@p.CreatorName</a>
    <p>@p.GetPropertyValue("smallDescription")</p>
</li>

Remember to use GetPropertyValue not GetProperty

Thanks Jeavon. You have been a big help!!!! Did you see my last post here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/47622-Partial-View-Macro-and-UmbracoTypedContent-Lambda-Issue about my DropDown state issue? Here it is incase you did not see is:

hHi all

I have another issue. I created a dropdown List datatype for State. Vales stored are NSW, QLD, NT, WA, ACT, VIC, SA, TAS.

My query is:

vararticles = Umbraco.TypedContent(articleContainerId).Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<string>("state").Contains("VIC"));

But this is causing an error: Error loading Partial View script (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/advancedSearchListing.cshtml) The data stored in the xml output looks like this: <state><![CDATA[VIC]]></state>

I have tried: vararticles = Umbraco.TypedContent(articleContainerId).Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<string>("state").Contains("VIC"));

and vararticles = Umbraco.TypedContent(articleContainerId).Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<string>("state".ToUpper()).Contains("VIC".ToUpper())); But nothing seems to work.

Any ideas please?
