    Find nodes in which a specific node is referenced in a MNTP

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    I have a MNTP property "tags" on different nodes across my site tree. On this property the editors can pick from category nodes. Say I have a category node with id 1151 - then I want to query for all nodes that has this node referenced in their "tags" property.

    I found something I thought was right here (https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/97468-get-and-store-values-of-a-multi-node-tree-picker-into-a-list-of-strings and https://our.umbraco.com/packages/developer-tools/umbraco-core-property-value-converters/feedback/64461-How-to-query-for-mntp-value) and made it v8 compatible (changed "GetPropertyValue" to "Value"): 

    var articles = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault().Descendants()
   .Where(x => x.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("tags").Select(y => y.Id).Contains(1151));

    But I get this error (on the second line):

    System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: source

    Any ideas?

    var articles = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault().Descendants()
   .Where(x => x.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("tags") != null && x.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("tags").Select(y => y.Id).Contains(1151));

    Check for null first.

    Should probably add this looks to be a quite an expensive query - you're checking all descendants here.

    If this is totally necessary you might want to look at caching this.

    Yes, I guess you are right. The nodes are spread around the site tree so it is necessary.

    After Descendants() I have .Where(x => x.IsDocumentType(articleType.Key)) but I guess that only helps a little.
