CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'System.Web.IHtmlString'
Hello guys ,

I do get error message when I try to do If equal then ..
CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'System.Web.IHtmlString'

Code:
```
var test = @Umbraco.Field("test");
            @if (test = 1 ){
            .....
            } else { .... } 
```
In backoffice is used Umbraco.Decimal editor for that test property.

Could someone help to make it work ?

Thank you

Hi,

Umbraco.Field always returns IHtmlString.

If you want a typed version you will want either Model.Content.GetPropertyValue

Or

Model.GetPropertyValue

You will want the first one if you view inherits UmbracoTemplatePage and the Second is for UmbracoViewPage

Used first option,

now Im getting Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'bool'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

To do a compare in not an assignment you need to use == in the if

@{ var test = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue

GetPropertyValue("test"); Should be
```
GetPropertyValue<int>("test");
```
