Getting ContentAtRoot in v8
Hi guys

Migrating my site to from v7 > v8

Having some trouble with the following:
```
var kunderSection = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "kunder");
```
I cant seem to find any documentation on this (maybe not Googling it right).

I tried changing Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot() to Model.Content.Root()

but it tells my IPublishedContent doesn't contain a difinition for FirstOrDefault, which I haven't been able to find a v8 replacement for.

Hope you guys can help

Best

Umbraco.ContentAtRoot() I think. I've seen a few consistent changes where methods that were TypedContent* are now just Content*.

If you use ModelsBuilder (which you definitely should)
```
Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault(x => x.ContentType.Alias == Kunder.ModelTypeAlias);
```
if, for some reason, not
```
Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "kunder");
```
For getting the top most ancestor in a template, usually the frontpage, you can do
```
Model.Root()
```

Thanks Andy and Michael!

I went with Michaels suggestion, using the ModelsBuilder, but both answers worked great :)

Have a great day
