    Model.AncestorOrSelf giving an error in partial macro

    I'm building a dynamic menu in a partial macro using MVC and am trying to get the home node with:

    @{var homeNode = Model.AncestorOrSelf("Home");}

    but this line is giving an error and no information as to what the error is.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Your help would be much appreciated.

    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Roger

    Hi Roger,

    If you are using dynamic Razor then you will ned to do it like this 

    @{var homeNode = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf("Home");}

    If you are using strongly typed Razor then you will ned to do it like this 

    @{var homeNode = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf("Home");}

    Here are some cheatsheets that shows the different methods in Razor https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-v6-mvc-razor-cheatsheets I know it says for Umbraco 6, but you can also use it in version 7

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis
