    Razor - working with property data?

    It seems there are multiple ways to get to published data? Which is the preferred? Is it different what you need to do if you're on a umbraco template (view) or macro? 

    Documentation links to a cheatsheat from 4.7
    http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Cheatsheets/

    Still the preferred?

    Hi Jesper,

    With Umbraco 7 the recommended method is to use IPublishedContent, this can be dynamic (CurrentPage) or typed (Model.Content). Anything else is legacy.

    There are cheatsheets a for both dynamic and typed here and IPublishedContent is documented here

    Thanks Jeavon. That's multiple ways. :-)

    Does it matter which I use? Ie why are there more than one?

    Best Jesper

    It's a preference really, dynamic is more concise but typed gives you intellisense in Visual Studio.

    Classic example:

    CurrentPage.myProperty vs Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("myProperty")

    If you use Visual Studio then typed makes sense, if you use the Umbraco UI template editor or another authoring tool then dynamic probably makes more sense.

    Does that make sense?

    Cool, another more complex example for you

    In dynamics you can do this (the "s" in "umbTextPages" makes it a collection)

    @foreach (var feature in homePage.umbTextPages.Where("featuredPage"))

    In typed you would do this

    @foreach (var feature in homePage.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "umbTextPage" && x.GetPropertyValue<bool>("featuredPage")))

    Thanks Jeavon,

    I must admit that the picture is getting clearer :)

    I must have seen this page 100 times - http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-v6-mvc-razor-cheatsheets - and early I wrongly came to the conclusion that there were 3 downloads = 3 ways to access (razor, dynamic and strong). But today when I re-read the page it states two cheatsheets and one of the downloads just contains both.

    Sometimes "paragraph" reading doesnt work :)
