    Umbraco.TypedContent() is null, though id exists...

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    I've scoured the documentation and just can't figure out why this doesn't work. I'm making a system for displaying puppy litters. I can loop through all the litters in the system. A litter has a sire, and I can get the ID of that sire, which is 1413. But If I then try to load it with Umbraco.TypedContent(sireID), it comes back null and I can't display any of its properties. What am I doing wrong? This is in a partial view.

    are you sure it is published? try republishing and see if that helps -- or is it in the recycle bin?

    I'm positive it's all published. I went and made sure of it.

    Hi Bobby,

    2 questions,

    1) What version of Umbraco are you using?

    2) Are Property Value Converters enabled?

    Thanks,

    Nik

    Bob Baty-Barr helped me figure it out offline. I wasn't casting the calls using IPublishedContent.

    Here is the correct line for Line 21: 

    IPublishedContent sire = litter.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("sire");

    I'm using the new content and media pickers, so it looks like casting the pickers is required.

    I'm using v7.11.0

    I wasn't even looking at the documentation on the pickers, just trying to display content.

    Thanks again Bob for the help!
