Perhaps checking if its "null", or "String.IsNullOrEmpty"

Hi Paul

I think something has changed, I cant use the same old code to iterate nodes where the MNTP is not selected;

• .Where("member==\"\"")
• .Where("member==null")
• .Where("member==string.IsNullOrEmpty")

None of the above iterates. It was working fine before the upgrade to 7.6 (at 7.5.8)

I have republished the site/cache and rebuilt indexes but didnt help.

This should be easy but I cant seem to think of a solution...

Something more like this perhaps...

    @foreach (var node in nodes.Descendants("articles").Where(x => string.IsNullOrEmpty(x.GetPropertyValue<string>("member"))).OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate)
{
   @node.Name
}

Hi again Paul

That gives the exception:

Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type

I have nodes declared like;

 var nodes = Umbraco.Content(1492);

I cant understand why it stopped working after the update to 7.6, not well versed with lambda expressions.

I'll assume its a "content" node. Change your var nodes line to use :

var nodes = Umbraco.TypedContent(1492);

lambda makes things a whole lot easier, and you get Intellisense support in Visual Studio.

Just ensure you're using Strongly Typed Methods, and not over using dynamics (eurgh)

Yes a content node. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be reading more on lambda.

However I get exception

Delegate 'System.Func<Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent,int,bool>' does not take 1 arguments

with following code;

var nodes= Umbraco.TypedContent(1492);
           foreach (var node in nodes.Descendants("articles").Where(x => string.IsNullOrEmpty(x.GetPropertyValue("member"))).OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate)){

                <p>@node.Name</p>
            };

Paul you are a gentleman and scholar!

That was it, it was set to true. Changing to false made it work.

I have some reading to do I guess, need to catch up...

Many thanks for your time!

is working on a reply...
