Help with querying

Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 8
Hello. I'm new to Umbraco. I tried to get every pages with a boolean value to true but I don't seems to get it right. Here's my code right now :
```
@{
  var selection = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault().Children().Where(x => x.GetProperty("menu").Value = true);
}
```
I've also tried .GetPropertyValue

Thanks for your help!

Hi Marc-Andre

I assume the property "menu" is a toggle (Yes/No)

If so then try
```
x => x.GetPropertyValue<bool>("menu").Value == true
```
You do need the double equals, and cast the property as a bool.

If this doesn't work then maybe this
```
x => Convert.ToBoolean(x.GetProperty("menu").Value) == true
```
Cheers

Hi Nigel,

Yes menu is a "checkbox" type.

Both of them don't work :(
```
var selection = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault().Children().Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<bool>("menuUtil").Value == true);
```
Error : 'IPublishedContent' does not contain a definition for 'GetPropertyValue' and no accessible extension method 'GetPropertyValue' accepting a first argument of type 'IPublishedContent' could be found
```
var selection = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault().Children().Where(x => Convert.ToBoolean(x.GetProperty("menuUtil").Value) == true);
```
Argument 1: cannot convert from 'method group' to 'object'

Hi Marc-Andre,

In Umbraco 8 the GetPropertyValue() method is not available anymore.

Instead you have to use the Value() method. So, applied to your situation:
```
@Model.Root().Children.Where(x => x.Value<bool>("menu"))
```
