Problems with foreach in image slider
I have some issues with my foreach and I want to create an image slider. On my “home” page I want to use a slider(se images) I have a doctype in the root(alias=ImageSlider) named slider2. Then I have a doctype (alias=Image) which contains 2 inputfields and an image. My foreach looks like this in my partial file:
```
@foreach (var slide in CurrentPage.Children){
<div>
        <h2>@slide.imgHeader</h2>
        <p>@slide.imageText</p>

        @if (slide.ImageForSlide != null && !(slide.ImageForSlide is Umbraco.Core.Dynamics.DynamicNull))
        {
            var m = Umbraco.Media(slide.ImageForSlide);
            <img src="@m.Url" alt="@m.UrlName" />
        }
</div>}
```
I do not get any output from this.

Is it possible to do it like this??

Hope someone can help me :)

Hi Beginner,

I think something like this will work for you

@{
    var imageSlider = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().DescendantsOrSelf("ImageSlider").FirstOrDefault();

    foreach(var slide in imageSlider.Children.Where("Visible")){ 
        <div>
            @if(slide.HasValue("imgHeader") || slide.HasValue("imageText")){ 

                <h2>@slide.imgHeader</h2>
                <p>@slide.imageText</p>
            }


            <img src="@item.umbracoFile" alt="@item.Name" />

        </div>
    }
}

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi beginner,

I would start with defining a selection instead of using CurrentPage.Children if you dont get any results:
```
var selection = CurrentPage.Site().FirstChild("ImageSlider").Children("Image").Where("Visible");
```
Then use this selection in a foreach:
```
@foreach(var item in selection){
    <div>
        <h2>@slide.imgHeader</h2>
            <p>@slide.imageText</p>
    </div>
}
```
It might be you need to use @slide.GetPropertyValue("imgHeader") instead of @slide.imgHeader.

You can use slide.HasValue("ImageForSlide") to check if that specific field has a value like Dennis suggested. I'm trying to help out to improve my own Razor skills, so let me know what works for you.
