In the controller code below I have an image coming from a media picker and a string from a textbox, both name exactly as they are below.
When I put a breakpoint on the code I can get the image url no problem but the description is always null, even though I can see it when I drill down in the model. Should I be doing it differently for a string value?
var mainImage = page.Value<IPublishedContent>("mainImage");
var description = page.Value<IPublishedContent>("description");
model.Add(new MyModel(mainImage.Url, description.ToString());
text from custom content always null in my code

Hi Damion
Yes, Description should be another type, is it multiline text box property editor? RTE?
Thanks,

Try "string".
you mean string instead of a var? That results in the error
'Cannot implicitly convert type 'Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.IPublishedContent' to 'string''
no, like this:
excellent, thanks!
