Working in a template file that inherits from Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage I seem to have really limited methods and properties available to me on the @Model object.
Under @Model.Content for example, I don't have any of the Ancestor or Descendant methods, just Children().
I feel like I'm missing something really obvious but as a bit of a noob could use a nudge.
You're right. Adding the Umbraco.Web namespace gives you most of these extra methods. You could also add the Umbraco.Core namespace which adds a lot of other useful extension methods.
Limited options on @Model object?
Hi,
Working in a template file that inherits from Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage I seem to have really limited methods and properties available to me on the @Model object.

OK, so looking into the Umbraco.Core.dll file told me that I need to add the following line to the top of my View, above the inherits line.
using Umbraco.Web;
Seems to have solved the problem, but if anyone in the know wants to set me straight, please do :) Still very much learning my way around v7.
Cheers
