Using HasValue() with AncestorOrSelf() in MacroPartial
Should be pretty self-explanatory of what I'm trying to do, but I'm getting definition not present [on HasValue] exception. Could someone help me out to what the line "should" be. Here's my last incarnation of trying different things:
```
var pageWithAds = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf((Func<dynamic, bool>)(p => p.HasValue("rotationAds"))).FirstOrDefault();
```

I would go for the the strong typed version of this.
```
var pagesWithAds = Model.Content.AncestorsOrSelf().FirstOrDefault(p => p.HasValue("rotationAds"));
```
Im pretty sure that will give you what you want. It will return an IPublishedContent Item rather than Dynamic

Thanks, Peter. That did it and having typed is a bonus. Here's my final code (unless someone sees a flaw):

    var pageWithAds = Model.Content.AncestorsOrSelf().FirstOrDefault(p => p.HasValue("rotationAds"));
    var rotationAds = ((pageWithAds != null) ? pageWithAds.GetPropertyValue<string>("rotationAds") : string.Empty);
    var ads = Umbraco.Media(rotationAds.Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries));
    var adsPicked = (ads.Count() > 3) ? ads.Random(3) : ads;
