Umbraco.TypedContent throws null exception when passing Id which belongs to a Media object
Hi! I'm building a search page where it should work to search for both content and media. For retrieving content I use Umbraco.TypedContent.
My initial idea was to use Umbraco.TypedMedia to get the media file if TypedContent returns null. However, TypedContent throws a null exception when I pass an Id which belongs to a media file. I expected it to return null. I have double checked so that the Id itself isn't null. This is my code:
var node = Umbraco.TypedContent(result.Id);
If I use the overloaded version of TypedContent which takes an array of string it works, and the return value of TypedContent gets "null" instead of throwing an exception:
var resultId = result.Id.ToString().Split(',');
var content = Umbraco.TypedContent(resultId);
@Umbraco.TypedContent(int) should return null if it cant find a content node with that id, even if the id provided belongs to an media item.
As a test, I tried the following in Umbraco v.7.4.2 and it works fine:
@{
var id = 1067; <!-- Id of a Media item
var content = Umbraco.TypedContent(id);
if (content == null)
{
content = Umbraco.TypedMedia(id);
}
}
@content.Name

Is this a bug or am I thinking wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Tobias,
What version of Umbraco are you using?
In 7.4.3 it works fine, TypedContent returns null when node doesn't exist.
Thanks,

Hi Tobias.

Thanks Dennis, the same code works fine in 7.4.3
Hi! I'm using Umbraco version 7.4.3 assembly: 1.0.5948.18141.
I tried again now, and now it's working, not sure what I made differently. Strange. Sorry to bother you :)
Have a nice day!
Awesome! Glad it worked out for you!
You never bother anyone here! :)
Have a great day, take care!
