what is selection? is selection ipublishedcontent? then you can "itemgroup.GetpropertyValue< DateTime >("startdate").Day"

You can do this I think :

<h1>@itemGroup.Key</h1> how do i get the date here!?

Haven't actually tried this code, but should work

Yasir, selection is Umbraco.Web.Models.DynamicPublishedContentList

itemGroup is Umbraco.Web.Dynamics.Grouping`2[System.Object,Umbraco.Web.Models.DynamicPublishedContent]

Unfortunately both of the above suggestions return " 'object' does not contain a definition for..."

Any ideas?

Okay, changing selection to iPublishedContent by using Model.Content instead of CurrentPage allowed me to get @itemGroup.Key to work, but I still can't access any other properties? I can only get the group by day and not the year.

Is there a way to access the properties of the group or even an item in it?

Thanks!

Amir

Have you tried itemgroup.GetpropertyValue("yourproperty")?

Yep, get this: CS1928: 'System.Linq.IGrouping

why are you using groupby? can you not use this without groupby?

I want to group items by day, add a heading for each day above the items, then iterate through the items. I want to heading to have day/month, hence the need to access more than just the key.

Inserting something before the first item worked perfectly.

Here's what I ended up with:

@foreach(var itemGroup in selection.OrderBy("startDateAndTime").Skip((page -1)* pageSize).Take(pageSize).GroupBy("startDateAndTime.Day")) {
foreach(var item in itemGroup) {
  if(item.IsFirst()) {
    <div class="grid-row-scheme-teal smallPadding marginBottom">
      @{
        string date = @item.GetPropertyValue("startDateAndTime").ToString();
      <h1>@umbraco.library.FormatDateTime(date, "MM/d ")</h1> 
      }
    </div>     
  }

ok! have you solved it?

Now i noticed one thing in my code

if you just put the

var group = new DateTime();

Before loop then it should work as you want to.

is working on a reply...
