    GetPropertyValue<> fails (U 7.3)

    Hi,

    I'm working in a new install of Umbraco 7.3. And in previous versions I could always this for example:

    string key = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("key");
    

    Only when I'm currently trying to use it, i get the following error in Visual Studio:

    Cannot convert method group 'GetPropertyValue' to non-delegate type 'object'. Did you intend to invoke the method?  
    

    And when I run the website I'm receiving a parser error. Did something change? Could it be related to MVC5? This is currently a very simple page, using the following code:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
    @{
        Layout = null;
        var page = @CurrentPage.Site();
    }
    
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
    
    
      </head>
    
      <body>
    
        @Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("key")
    
      </body>
    </html>
    

    Update: This only occurs when using in a template file, when using this in a partial, or in a helperextension.cs for example. It does work.

    You need to add brackets to your code due to the type <>, e.g.

    @(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("contentVoorwaarden"))

    That was it... Never had to do that before, this is only needed in a template file as far as I can tell.

      @(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("key"))
    

    Just don't understand why, yet. Maybe something to do with the template parsing the <string> as HTML ?

    Yes, if you have a type in angle brackets such as < string > you need the additional brackets for the parser to work
