Conditional If - Check if property type has string value
Hi All, I want to check if the property on a page equals a string value. I cant seem to get it to work with the strongly type partial.

Any help would be grateful.

Thanks

Martin
```
  @foreach (var childPage in home.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible()))
     {        
        if (childPage.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible()).Any() && childPage.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<string>("navigationDropdown").Equals("secondary")))
```

Hi Martin

What is "secondary"?

Can you check in /app_data/umbraco.config what is stored in "navigationDropdown" property?

Hi Martin,

what kind of data type is your navigationDropdown property? I guess it contains a Array of strings and not only one string so the conversion to a string using x.GetPropertyValue<string>("navigationDropdown") fails.

Hope this helps.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for replying.

The property "navigationDropdown" is a textbox data type. It's intended to determine what kind of dropdown style is applied to the child pages.

I want to check if the string matches "secondary" value.

Thanks again.

Hi Martin

It looks you need something like that:
```
@foreach (var childPage in home.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible() && x.GetPropertyValue<string>("navigationDropdown").Equals("secondary")))
{
    if (childPage.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible()).Any())
    {
    }
}
```
Child pages that have child pages and "navigationDropdown" property value equals "secondary"?

Thanks,

Alex
