    Truncating with GetPropertyValue

    Hi 

    @ProjectPost.GetPropertyValue("content")

    How can I use Truncate with the GetPropertyValue - because I want to shorten the text in my article overview page.

    I've tried this without any luck:

    @Umbraco.Truncate(@ProjectPost.GetPropertyValue("content"), 150, false)

    Hi Sharmarke,

    If you are using strongly typed Razor you can use this code

    @Umbraco.Truncate(ProjectPost.GetPropertyValue("content").ToString(), 150, false)

    If you are using dynamic Razor you should use this syntax

    @Umbraco.Truncate(ProjectPost.content, 150, false)

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Sharmarke,

    You can also specify the return value after the .GetPropertyValue like this:

    @Umbraco.Truncate(ProjectPost.GetPropertyValue<String>("content"), 150, false)

    Hi Dennis

    I used this one: 

    @Umbraco.Truncate(ProjectPost.GetPropertyValue("content").ToString(), 150, false)

    I have removed the "false" - to get the three dots.

    Thanks again for your help!
