Hey Jeroen,

I'm having some trouble with the DAMP PropertyEditorValueConverter. When using your strongly typed example:

var image = new DAMP.PropertyEditorValueConverter.Model(item.GetPropertyValue("logo"))

I'm getting the following error:

Compiler Error Message: CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'DAMP.PropertyEditorValueConverter.Model.Model(string)' has some invalid arguments

This error is because the item.GetPropertyValue("logo") is already returning a DAMP.PropertyEditorValueConverter.Model instance.

Not what I was expecting, but ok, then I'll just use the following code:

var images = item.GetPropertyValue<DAMP.PropertyEditorValueConverter.Model>("logo");

This returns a Model, but if "logo" does not exist, it will return null instead of an empty DAMP_List. Because this option will require us to always check for null, this method is not prefered.

Not prefered:

var images = item.GetPropertyValue<DAMP.PropertyEditorValueConverter.Model>("logo");

if (images != null)
{
    foreach (var image in images.Take(1))
    {
        <img src="@image.TypedCrops["frontpageslideshow"]" alt="@image.Alt" />
    }
}

What I would like to do is the following:

var image = item
    .GetPropertyValue<DAMP.PropertyEditorValueConverter.Model>("logo")
    .FirstOrDefault();

if (image != null)
{
    <img src="@image.TypedCrops["frontpageslideshow"]" alt="@image.Alt" />
}

Or:

var images = item.GetPropertyValue<DAMP.PropertyEditorValueConverter.Model>("logo");

foreach (var image in images.Take(1))
{
    <img src="@image.TypedCrops["frontpageslideshow"]" alt="@image.Alt" />
}

Or:

var images = new DAMP.PropertyEditorValueConverter.Model(item.GetPropertyValue("logo"))

foreach (var image in images.Take(1))
{
    <img src="@image.TypedCrops["frontpageslideshow"]" alt="@image.Alt" />
}

Also, the Model() constructor does not check if a Media item actually exists before adding it to the list. If the logo property contains an media ID that does not exist (anymore), it will still add a empty DAMP_Item to the list. This means the Any and Count methods are meaningless, and it will cause errors in the DAMP_Item object when accessing properties on it. So could you check if a media item actually exists before adding a DAMP_Item to the list?

Could you fix some of these issues?
