I need to access some settings on a block grid.
I installed the examples, and added a settings doc type to the "two column" layout block. All good.
I need to access these settings on the absolute top level of the block renderer. (default.cshtml)
@inherits Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Views.UmbracoViewPage<Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models.Blocks.BlockGridModel>
@{
if (Model?.Any() != true) { return; }
var settings = Model.Settings;
}
But that gives me an error:
'BlockGridModel' does not contain a definition for 'Settings' and no accessible extension method 'Settings' accepting a first argument of type 'BlockGridModel' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Whats the syntax for accessing the settings at this level/Model
At that level the model is a BlockGridModel which is a collection of BlockGridItems, but it's these individual BlockGridItems that have the Settings properties.
You can see a bit about the possibilities in the custom rendering section in the block grid docs

Anyway, you should be able to find your two column layout block with something like...
var twoColBlock = Model. FirstOrDefault(f=>f.Content. ContentType.Alias == "twoColBlockAlias");
var twoColSettings = twoColBlock. Settings as TwoColSettingsModel;
Depending on what your blocks and setting blocks are called!
