    Mutliple Textbox (Umbraco.MultipleTextstring) datatype

    Hello

    Has anyone had any success with accessing the data from this datatype?

    When looking in the umbraco.config file to see how the data is structured I see this:

    <categories><![CDATA[Advice
    Arts and crafts
    Book sales
    Books out loud
    Games
    Learning
    Local history
    Reading
    Writing]]></categories>
    

    Yet when I try to access it from a view using any of the usual methods such as...

    @Umbraco.Field("categories")
    

    or

    @Model.Content.GetProperty("categories").Value
    

    etc

    ... I get System.String[] returned back to the view.

    It looks like when calling the datatypes' value, the type is actually being returned instead of the value.

    Bug in the datatype?

    Many thanks.
