    Content Picker Issue

    Hi all,

    I want pick a author on my Blog Post page, so, I create a Content Picker for this, Document type like this:

    enter image description here

    and now, I can pick a person normally:

    enter image description here

    but when I follow this page to get the person, code like this:

    enter image description here

    then, I got a Compilation Error:

    enter image description here

    Does anyone know, which step is wrong?

    Best regards

    Cary

    Hi Cary,

    The issue you are getting is because a Content Picker returns an IPublishedContent, not the explicit type of the picked content node.

    What you can do is the following:

    @if(author is Author typedAuthor)
{
      <p>@typedAuthor.AuthorName</p>
}

    or

    <p>@author.Value("authorName")</p>

    The first option checks that what you are trying to access is of type Author and then stores it in a strongly typed variable typedAuthor so you can then access it how you were trying to. The second is falling back to accessing properties off of the IPublishedContent interface.

    Hope that helps

    Nik
