Right now if i output the MNTP It just gives me an list of ID's of the areas that i picked.

@item.areas 

1012, 1013

Is it somehow possible to check for the sellected ids?

Something like:

if(Item.areas.Contains(CurrentPage.Id)){

   //then show stuff

} 

Splitting the string will be safer. Because when check for contains on the string with the value "10" it will match also on this string "210,342"

Something like this :

string areas = item.areas;

var areaIdArray =  areas.Split(new [] {','}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

areaIdArray.Contains(CurrentPage.Id.ToString());

Hi Dave

I've tried your suggestion but i get an error like this:

CS1973 : ' string [ ] ' is not a useful method named ' Contains '

My code looks like this:

@foreach(var item in CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(2).Descendants("Ansatte")){
   string areas = item.fag;

   var areaIdArray =  areas.Split(new [] {','}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

  areaIdArray.Contains(CurrentPage.Id.ToString());
<h1>@item.name</h1>
}

Hi Mads,

Just typed this from memory so it can contain errors :-)

Maybe you can try this :

 var areaIdArray =  areas.Split(new [] {','}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).ToList();

...well memorized anyways :)

It dosent give me an error now but I'm not sure how to use it as a check? I've tried to use it in an if statement but no positive result:

@foreach(var item in CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(2).Descendants("Ansatte")){

   string areas = item.fag;
   var areaIdArray =  areas.Split(new [] {','}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).ToString();

   if(areaIdArray.Contains(CurrentPage.Id.ToString())){
      <p>Show me at this page</p>
   }else{
      <p>Do not show</p>
     }
 }

And now it just output "Do not show" :)

Hi again

After a good nights sleep i came out with this solution:

@foreach(var item in CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(2).Descendants("Ansatte")){

          var fag = item.Fag.ToString();

          if(fag.Contains(CurrentPage.Id.ToString())){
            <p>Show me at this page</p>
          }else{
          <p>Do not show</p>
          }
}

I've no idea if this is the right way to solve it?

Hi Dave Well i forgot to mention that my previous post worked, but i was not sure if it was the proper way to do it? Maybe some weak points? :D

But your solution works perfect to - so i go with that solution - thanks for your help I was really stuck on this one :)

It's not entirerly fail safe

Splitting the string will be safer. Because when check for contains on the string with the value "10" it will match also on this string "210,342"

But i guess sense the page id i unique it should not be a problem?

yes page id is unique...But the check matches also non unique id's.

For example your string contains following ids : 1111,2101,4237

The page id of the current item is 101...

If you do a contains it will match because of 2101.

Ahhh...true...did not see that one :)

Thanks again Dave for your reply :D

is working on a reply...
