Exclude nodes by nodeid in foreach loop

Razor
I need to exclude a set of nodes by their id in a foreach loop...

I call my id's like this:
```
string excludeId = "";
foreach (var item in resultingString)
{
   excludeId += @item.Id + ", ";
}
var ids = excludeId.Substring(0, excludeId.LastIndexOf(","))
var childNodes = startNode.DescendantsOrSelf(4).OrderBy("UpdateDate desc").Where(x => x.Id != ids);
@foreach (var page in childNodes.Take(1))
{
   @page.Name

}
```
How Do I filter out the comma-separated list of nodeid's from childNodes...?

NOTE: Making an if-sentence inside the foreach-loop is not an option...!

Hi Robin,

Could you please post a little more of your code (especially the first line) so we can work out what startNode is and what type of Razor you are using?

Certainly :)

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage    
string excludeId = "";
foreach (var item in resultingString)
{
   excludeId += @item.Id + ", ";
}
var ids = excludeId.Substring(0, excludeId.LastIndexOf(","))

var startNode = Umbraco.Content(Model.MacroParameters["startNodeID"]);**
var childNodes = startNode.DescendantsOrSelf(4).OrderBy("UpdateDate desc").Where(x => x.Id != ids);
@foreach (var page in childNodes.Take(1))
{   
    @page.Name
}

Ok, cool, so the main issue is that you are trying to do a lambda on a dynamic object, how about something like this (requires Umbraco v6.2+ or v7.1.2+)?
```
var excludesId = "1234,5678,2332";

var startNode = Umbraco.TypedContent(2323);

var childNodes = startNode.DescendantsOrSelf(4).Where(x => !x.Id.ToString().CsvContains(excludesId)).OrderBy("UpdateDate desc");
foreach (var page in childNodes.Take(1))
{
    @page.Name
}
```

This is typical when I try to write Lambda:
```
"Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type"
```
:(

(I'm using Umbraco v. 7.1.4 by the way...)

Did you try the above snippet I posted?

Yes but I cannot use TypedContent:
```
var startNode =Umbraco.TypedContent(2323);
```
I need to use :
```
var startNode =Umbraco.Content(Model.MacroParameters["startNodeID"]);
```
How ever - the Lambda expression does not filter out any nodes as I whant to - I still se some certain nodes as should not be visible...

It will only sort on 1 (one) id - not a comma serpareted list of Ids

You need to use it otherwise you cannot use a lambda.

Like this:
```
var startNode = Umbraco.TypedContent(Model.MacroParameters["startNodeID"].ToString());
```

I'll give it a try - about the sorting - it seems that it will only sort on 1 id - not a list of ids... :|

This one nailed it...: :)

var startNode = Umbraco.TypedContent(Model.MacroParameters["startNodeID"].ToString());
var excludedId = "";
foreach (var item in resultingString.OrderBy(x => x.Id))
{
    excludedId += @item.Id + ", ";
}
List<int> excludedAppIds = excludedId.Substring(0, excludedId.LastIndexOf(",")).Split(',').Select(x => x.Trim()).Select(x => Int32.Parse(x)).ToList();
var childNodes = startNode.DescendantsOrSelf(4).Where(i => !excludedAppIds.Contains(i.Id));
