Hi

Still getting my head around the new value property converters. Im trying to access a CheckBox List. Using Smart Blog and adapting how it usually gets those prevalues.

I have the following code:

// Get this blogs root, does not use an id because there may be more thanone blog
IPublishedContent objBlogRoot = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf("SmartBlogBlog");

// Get the posts in this blog
IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> colPosts = objBlogRoot.Descendants("SmartBlogPost").OrderBy("updateDate").Where(x => x.IsVisible() == true);

// Create the tag dictionary
Dictionary<String, Int32> colCategories = new Dictionary<String, Int32>();

// Loop through all the posts then loop through their tags to add to the tag dictionary
foreach (IPublishedContent objPost in colPosts)
{
    String[] colCategoryNames;
    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(objPost.GetPropertyValue<String>("smartBlogCategory")))
    {
         colCategoryNames = objPost.GetPropertyValue<String>("smartBlogCategory").Split(',');
    }
    else
    {
         colCategoryNames = new String[0];
    }

    foreach (String strCategory in colCategoryNames)
    {
        if (colCategories.ContainsKey(strCategory))
        {
            colCategories[strCategory]++;
        }
        else
        {
            colCategories.Add(strCategory, 1);
        }
    }
}

I belive this section needs changing to access the Property Value Converter?

String[] colCategoryNames;
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(objPost.GetPropertyValue<String>("smartBlogCategory")))
        {
             colCategoryNames = objPost.GetPropertyValue<String>("smartBlogCategory").Split(',');
        }
        else
        {
             colCategoryNames = new String[0];
        }

Unsure how to access the String array in the value? Tried casting it to a String[] but just get null value. Can someone point me in the right direction. The online documents don't outline Checkbox list.
