    Hi Mark!

    The content picker should just return the ID of the page you have picked, so you should just be able to do this:

    var page = Umbraco.Content(CurrentPage.linkPicker);

    Where 'linkPicker' is the name of your Content Picker property.

    And then you can access the Url like this:

    <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>

    Hope this helps.

    You're welcome!

    If you only need the URL thats the way to do it. If you also need the Name then of course Elliot's suggestion is the answer as you have the whole object there.
