    TagQuery and custom fields

    I am working on a "related content" widget that shows the 3 latest articles with the same tags, with "latest" being determined by a custom field named "articleDate". I can't seem to figure out how to use custom fields in a query of the returned published content. Below is my attempt:

    var publishedContent = Umbraco.TagQuery.GetContentByTag(tag);

        if (publishedContent.Where(p=>p.Id!=CurrentPage.Id).Count() > 0)
            {
    @foreach (var item in publishedContent.Where(p=>p.Id!=CurrentPage.Id).OrderByDescending(p => p.articleDate).Take(3)) {
                            var page = Umbraco.Content(item.Id);
                            <li class="list-group-item">
                                <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name
                                <div class="articleDate">@page.articleDate.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy")</div></a>
                            </li>
                        }
    }

    Hi Andrew

    I would like to rewrite this code:

    var publishedContent = Umbraco.TagQuery.GetContentByTag("tag").ToList();
    
    if (publishedContent.Any(p => p.Id != Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Id))
    {
        foreach (var item in publishedContent.Where(p => p.Id != Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Id).OrderByDescending(p => p.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("articleDate")).Take(3))
        {
            var page = Umbraco.Content(item.Id);
    
            <li class="list-group-item">
                <a href="@item.Url">
                    @item.Name
                    <div class="articleDate">@page.articleDate.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy")</div>
                </a>
            </li>
        }
    }
