    Umbraco Drop Down Property returning integer value

    Hi,

    We have unpublished page with drop down property. On accessing propertyy value in the code we are getting numeric value of this property where as we have entered text value in dropdown items.

    Here is the code syntax we are using to fetch values from dropdown

    objContent= ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService.GetById(1234);

    objContent.GetValue("propertyalias");

    Here "1234" is the pageID.

    Please help me on this.

    Hi Tarunjit

    Perhaps you can benefit from using the same approach as Maff describes in his blogpost about getting the Text rather than the id of the dropdown value?

    Hope this helps.

    ..Or perhaps you can simply just use the .GetPrevalueAsString() method as describe d here https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Querying/UmbracoHelper/ a bit down the page.
