Hi Tom

Have you tried one of these solution.

//to return the strongly typed (Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent) object
@Umbraco.TypedContent(1234)

//to return the dynamic representation: 
@Umbraco.Content(1234)

Or if you want to have multiple ids:

//to return the strongly typed (IEnumerable) collection 
@Umbraco.TypedContent(1234, 4321, 1111, 2222) 

//to return the dynamic representation: 
@Umbraco.Content(1234, 4321, 1111, 2222)

The documentation can be found here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/querying

I hope this can help you.

Is this code for a Razor view? How do I do this in a code, i.e. in a helper class?

Hi,

within a helper class you usually won't have access to the UmbracoContext, so you either a) have to create it or b) extend it with your helper functions.

you can create it

var umbHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);

but this is not ideall (because its a refrence based on internal singletons and not always best - there are some long threads on this

a better way is to extend the class

as an example :

public static class MyHelperExtension { 

  public static string DoSomethingClever(this UmbracoHelper umbraco, string mything) { 

     // umbraco.TypedContent() will work in here

  }
}

then in your razor you can do

Umbraco.MyHelperExtension("something"); 

and your code will be called and you don't need to create or manage your own Umbraco Helper objects.

But I don't want somethin that works in Razor but something that works in a helper library.

is working on a reply...
