Custom Query - Select all entries after a specific date from DateTime parameter

Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 7
Hi All,

I have created a query to find all events.

Each event has a date time control

Can I create a query, when given a certain date will find all dates after(and including) that date and then display them

To find all events this query works
```
var nodes = Model.Content.Site().FirstChild("eventsPage").Children("eventsItem").Where(x => x.IsVisible()).OrderBy("CreateDate desc");
```
I then just loop through the node.

I'm sure i need to put in the WHERE clause, but do not know the syntax.

Also how to order by the date parameter would be awesome as well.

How can I specify a parameter to search?

Hi James

if your special property has an alias 'eventDate' for example then would the following work?

var cutOffDate = DateTime.Now;

var nodes = Model.Content.Site().FirstChild("eventsPage").Children("eventsItem").Where(x => x.IsVisible() && x.HasProperty("eventDate") && x.HasValue("eventDate") && x.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("eventDate") > cutOffDate).OrderByDescending(x=>x.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("eventDate"));
