Item.GetValue("header") Value cannot be null.

Hi,

I created a custom header, with only 1 property, a single textstring. Every time I try to show the values, I get the error: : Value cannot be null.

HTML:

@inherits UmbracoViewPage<Lecoati.LeBlender.Extension.Models.LeBlenderModel>
@foreach (var item in Model.Items)
{
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3">
            <h2 class="module-title font-alt">@item.GetValue("Header")</h2>
        </div>
    </div>
}

The stacktrace:

The wierd thing is, it is only on some document types, not on all of them.

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

Hi Bert,

Can you use 'HasValue()' method for checking value before using it ?

Thanks

Hi Alex,

My object does not have a property HasValue, enter image description here

Is it correct that I inherit from :

@inherits UmbracoViewPage<Lecoati.LeBlender.Extension.Models.LeBlenderModel>

Thanks!

Hi Bert,

I think that it because the alias of your property is header and not Header, the alias is camel case.

Hi Bert,

I tried it with exactly the same values but it works fine for me :/

Have you got any more info about your issue, some error within the console? you have this error in front or back?

Hi,

I downloaded the source code and found that this is null:

string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request["id"]

located in

     internal static PublishedContentType GetTargetContentType()

The possible reason is because I am using a custom controller and the Id is not set.

In my controller I added the ID to HttpContext.Current.Items collection and wrote some extra code in Leblender Extension to retreive this id

 else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request["id"]))
        {
            int contenId = int.Parse(HttpContext.Current.Request["id"]);
            return (PublishedContentType)ApplicationContext.Current.ApplicationCache.RuntimeCache.GetCacheItem(
                "LeBlender_GetTargetContentType_" + contenId,
                () =>
                {
                    var services = ApplicationContext.Current.Services;
                    var contentType = PublishedContentType.Get(PublishedItemType.Content, services.ContentService.GetById(contenId).ContentType.Alias);
                    return contentType;
                });
        }
        else
        {
            int contenId = int.Parse(HttpContext.Current.Items["id"].ToString());
            return (PublishedContentType)ApplicationContext.Current.ApplicationCache.RuntimeCache.GetCacheItem(
                "LeBlender_GetTargetContentType_" + contenId,
                () =>
                {
                    var services = ApplicationContext.Current.Services;
                    var contentType = PublishedContentType.Get(PublishedItemType.Content, services.ContentService.GetById(contenId).ContentType.Alias);
                    return contentType;
                });
        }

Does anyone knows why this ID is null? And who sets it?

Thanks :)

(it works with my changes for now)
