    Loop through content in a Partial View

    Hi folks,

    I'm having trouble looping through content in a partial view. This is what I've done so far:

    @model ICASolution.Models.QualificationsTopViewModel
                        @{
                            var page = umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.GetNodeByXpath("//Qualifications");
                            foreach (var menuItem in page.Children)
                            {
                                @Html.Raw("<li><a href=\"#\">" + menuItem.Name + "</a></li>");
                            }
                        }

    I can see that when the loop is hit that the children are being returned and I can see their properties:

    enter image description here

    But these properties aren't available to me in code:

    I'm obviously missing something(!) any chance someone could fill me in on where I'm going wrong please?

    thanks, Craig

    Hi Craig,

    I would start by suggesting that you drop the use of umbraco.NodeFactory. This method of retrieving nodes is now deprecated and won't be supported in future versions.

    Instead I would recommend that you use UmbracoHelper with something along the lines of the following:

    Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper helper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
var page = helper.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//Qualifications");

foreach (var menuItem in page.Children)
{
    <li>@menuItem.Name</li>
}

    If you check the documentation, you will notice that you can also access other properties from your DocType via the .GetPropertyValue[<T>](string propertyAlias).

    EDIT: The reason that your current implementation won't work is because GetNodeByXPath will always return an IEnumerable (even if there is only one item), hence the use of TypedContentSingleAtXPath above.

    Gary
