    Getting published content in code when there are fields with macros

    I have a custom AJAX service that returns a list of items by using TypedContentAtRoot and selecting the custom result objects.

    This works fine unless there are macros in any of the text fields, in which case I get Cannot render a macro when there is no current PublishedContentRequest

    I actually don't need the macros to run here, so I'd be happy with a solution that didn't bother running them and just returned the comment markup OR one that actually ran them.

    My code is:

            UmbracoHelper uhelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
    
            var res = uhelper
                .TypedContentAtRoot().First()
                .DescendantsOrSelf()
                .Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "Event")
                .OrderBy(x => x.GetPropertyValue<MyApp.EventDates>("eventDates").EventDate)
                .Select(x => new MyAppEventDetails(x));
    

    The property values are retrieved using e.g.

    Description = content.GetPropertyValue<string>("eventDescription");
    

    I see there are overloads GetPropertyValue for recursing, but not for disabling macro expansion.
