    UmbracoTemplatePage vs DynamicNodeContext (multi tree picker)

    I'm using Umbraco 7.0.1 and I'm trying to display a list of items selected by a multi tree picker.

    I have done it before and then I've been able to list the result by a simple foreach loop, but that aproach seems only to work if I'm using the DynamicNodeContext model (@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext), however with MVC the preferred model seems to be UmbracoTemplatePage (@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage).

    If anyone can help out with either of these questions I might get somewhere with this:

    1. Can I display the result from a multi tree picker with UmbracoTemplatePage?

    2. If I must use DynamicNodeContext instead, how do I include partial views? Html.RenderPartial("umbSocial") doesn't work with that model.

    3. What is the difference between DynamicNodeContext and UmbracoTemplatePage anyway? And when should I use one or the other?

    Many thanks,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel

    1: Yes, see here for sample

    2 & 3: Don't ever use DynamicNodeContext in v7, it is only for legacy support
