Just a quick question, the way im using this means this code also ends up on the home page via a partial view, as the home page has no parent i get an error '

Cannot perform runtime binding on a null reference'

is there a way around this?

Hi EsqJ,

Try this:

@{
    if(CurrentPage.Parent != null){ 
        @CurrentPage.Parent.Id
    }
}

Hope this helps,

Hi Dennis,

That worked but i have come across an issue of my own making.

If i have this structure...

Home
  About (page id 100)
     ChildPage
        ChildOfChild

The parent of childofchild is going to be child page, but i still want to get the id of the *root* parent (about us). Does that make sense?

Hi EsqJ,

Then you could do something like this:

@Umbraco.Content(100).Id

You can read about Umbraco.Content here: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Querying/UmbracoHelper/#Content%28intid%29 if you are using strongly typed razor the snippet looks like this:

@Umbraco.TypedContent(100).Id

You could also create a variable like this:

@(
    var = aboutPageId = Umbraco.Content(100);
    @aboutPageId.Id
}

Hope this helps,

Hi EsqJ,

And if your about page has it´s own document type then you can do it like this also.

@CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1).Descendants("Document Type Alias").FirstOrDefault().Id

Remember to change the Document Type Alias so it match your about page document type alias.

Hope this helps,
