Hi Robert,

can you show us the complete code of where you want to access this Brand property?

Also which version are you using of Umbraco?

Thanks!

/Michaël

The code is simply this:

var brand = content.GetValue("Brand");

//brand returns 231 but I need the selected string value of the combo

Where content is the correct IContent object that I want to work with.

Umbraco 7.

Here's what I did on umbraco 7.14.0:

/// <summary>
/// Returns the value of a drop down property.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="page">
/// The page with the drop down property.
/// </param>
/// <param name="propName">
/// The name of the drop down property.
/// </param>
/// <returns>
/// The drop down text value.
/// </returns>
private static string GetDropDownValue(IContent page, string propName)
{
    var dtService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.DataTypeService;
    var valueId = page.GetValue<int?>(propName);
    if (!valueId.HasValue)
    {
        return null;
    }
    return dtService.GetPreValueAsString(valueId.Value);
}

That's more just a note to myself in case I search for this again in the future.
