Hi,

I had a search working on my umbraco site where I was getting a load of events and filtering them but now it is throwing a weird error: The alias datatypes have not changed. Any ideas?

Exception Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.


Line 39:     Umbraco.Core.Services.IContentService cs = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
Line 40:     IEnumerable itemList = Enumerable.Empty();
Line 41:     itemList = cs.GetChildren(EventsParent).OrderByDescending(x => x.GetValue("simpleEventDateFrom"));
Line 42:     String[] catlist = itemList.Select(I => Convert.ToString(I.GetValue("simpleEventCategory"))).ToArray();
Line 43:

This is my code: where simpleEventDateFrom is my alias datatype

var EventsParent = 1460;

Umbraco.Core.Services.IContentService cs = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
IEnumerable itemList = Enumerable.Empty();
itemList = cs.GetChildren(EventsParent).OrderByDescending(x => x.GetValue("simpleEventDateFrom"));

Seeing this same issue all of a sudden out of the blue with Umbraco 7.2.4

private void PublishedHandler_Published(IPublishingStrategy sender, PublishEventArgs<IContent> args)
{
    var contentService = new ContentService();
    foreach (var node in args.PublishedEntities)
    {
         var someProperty = node.GetValue<string>("someAlias");
    }
}

Gives me an error:

Message "The given key was not present in the dictionary."
   at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key)
   at System.Collections.ObjectModel.KeyedCollection`2.get_Item(TKey key)
   at Umbraco.Core.Models.ContentBase.GetValue[TPassType](String propertyTypeAlias)

Hi Zac,

Did you try to use GetPropertyValue method?

Hi Alex,

It was a silly question, and I realised as soon as I posted it.

I just expected it not to throw an exception, is all (like IPublishedContent). It was fine as soon as I checked if the content node had that property.

Cheers, Zac
