    Only show items from specified year

    Hi

    Struggling with some code, wonder if anyone knows how to write this.

    I've got a collection of articles that have an end date specified on them. and I'm trying to only show items from a certain year. 

    @{
    var selection = Umbraco.Content(3237).Children.Where("newsEndDate == 2016");
}

@foreach (var item in selection)
{


    <div>@item.Name</div>

}

    The above code doesn't work, I've also tried

     @{
    var selection = Umbraco.Content(3237).Children.Where("newsEndDate.ToString("yyyy") == 2017);
}

    But still no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hi David

    Don't recommend you to use Dynamics in rendering of Umbraco data, try to use TypedContent instead of Content, this should work as you want:

    var selection = Umbraco.TypedContent(3237).Children.Where(node => node.HasValue("newsEndDate") && node.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsEndDate").Year == 2017);

    Hope it will help.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Thanks Alex, that's worked perfect.

    Could I ask you one other quick question.

    So I've now got this

      @{
    var selection = Umbraco.TypedContent(3237).Children.Where(node => node.HasValue("newsEndDate") && node.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsEndDate").Year == 2016);
}

@foreach (var item in selection)
{

    <div class="date">  @item.newsEndDate.ToString("MMMM")   </div>

}

    Since changing to Typed Content this no longer works @item.newsEndDate.ToString("MMMM") Is there another way I should be doing this now.

    You are welcome, David.

    Try this code:

    @foreach (var item in selection)
{
    var dateTimeValue = item.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsEndDate");

    <div class="date">@dateTimeValue.ToString("MMMM")</div>
}
