    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);

    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,

    Alex

    Hi Tobias.

    @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

    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!
