Pass multiple parameters to macro
Hi,

I've set up a macro a parameter (nodeID Integer) and from a partial view I'm calling the macro like this:
```
@umbraco.RenderMacro("MembersMenu", new { nodeID = 6389 })
```
This work fine but I've added another parameter (mobileClass textstring) and I've extended the call to:
```
@umbraco.RenderMacro("MembersMenu", new { nodeID = 6390, mobileClass= "bg-palenavy" })
```
I'm not getting any errors but the macro isn't reading in the 2nd parameter:
```
var page = Umbraco.Content(Model.MacroParameters["nodeID"]);
var mobileClass= Umbraco.Content(Model.MacroParameters["mobileClass"]);
```
Any ideas anyone?

Hi Craig,
```
var mobileClass= Umbraco.Content(Model.MacroParameters["mobileClass"]);
```
Now you are trying to find a content based on the mobileClass. Shouldn't this be:
```
var mobileClass = (string)Model.MacroParameters["mobileClass"];
```
Hope this helps!

Hi Michael,

Sadly that hasn't made any difference :(

Thanks, C

Craig,

did you add the parameter to your Macro in the backoffice:

Hope this helps!

Hi Craig,

what is the result when you add the following into your Macro view:
```
@Model.MacroParameters.Count
```

This get's weirder!

Adding @Model.MacroParameters.Count() results in 2 (which is what I'd expect)

Adding
```
            foreach(var para in Model.MacroParameters)
            {
                <p>@para.Key + @para.Value</p>
            }
```
Results in nodeID + 10 mobileClass + bg-navy

Which is what I'd expect

But
```
var mobileClass =Umbraco.Content(Model.MacroParameters["mobileClass"]);
```
Returns null.

Thanks, C

Craig,

what if you change the key of mobileClass to something else like "responsive" ( also in your Umbraco backoffice in the macro parameters ).

Does that help?

What if you only use the second parameter so if your remove the nodeID, do you then get the value for mobileClass?

How'd you mean from the Macro parameters or in code?

Nah, doesn't make any difference....

I might have to hack this to load the value

What version of Umbraco are you using ?

And can you reproduce it on a empty install ?
