Hi Tom,

To get intellisense in Visual Studio for your (*.cshtml) files. You need to use the strongly typed Razor. When you using the @CurrentPage you are using the dynamic Razor. So dynamic Razor is conciseness where with strongly typed Razor you will get the intellisense. To get the current page in strongly tyed Razor you need to write. Model.Content.

As you can see here there https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/using-umbraco/backoffice-overview/property-editors/Built-in-Property-Editors-v7/Content-Picker is two examples on how to get data from the content picker in Umbraco 7. To get the intellisense in Visual Studio you need to use the strongly typed example like this.

@{ 
    if (Model.Content.HasValue("contentPicker")){ 
        var node = Umbraco.TypedContent(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<int>("contentPicker")); 
        <a href="@node.Url">@node.Name</a> 
    }
}

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Thanks for replying.

OK if @CurrentPage is dynamic and I can't get intellisense in my .cshtml page, how do I go about getting a list of what's avaialble?

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

To get a list of what standard Umbraco fields, that´s avaialble, try to see this video Umbraco.TV

http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/fundamentals/templating/setting-up-our-first-template/ You can see the whole video if you want to, but for to answer you question try to see from 3 min 25 sec.

For getting data of of standard field, e.g the when the document is created then use @CurrentPage.createDate.

For your custom properties, use @CurrentPage.propertyAlias. And there is also a list https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/using-umbraco/backoffice-overview/property-editors/Built-in-Property-Editors-v7 of the built in properties, with examples on how to get data from it, in both strongly typed Razor or dynamic Razor.

Hope this helps, and don't hesitate to ask again

Dennis:

Forgive me for asking again, but I take it there isn't a documentation similar to what Microsoft does with its documentation -->where it lists methods/properties for each object plus its parent object?

Hi Tom,

I have not seen such documentation like this myself unfortunately. Perhaps, some other members of the community knows if such of information is available.

Hi Tom,

There are some cheat sheets available here that list a lot of the available properties and methods: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-v6-mvc-razor-cheatsheets

:)

I totally forgot the Razor cheat sheets : -)
