Niels, did you ever figure anything out with this? i am currently struggling with the same. Thanks, Bob

Hey Bob.

I actually ended up hardcoding the translation between the ID's in the Json and the actual value that I wanted. It's not the prettiest solution..

What I did was to get the json out like this;

  var jsoncategories = item.GetValue("sponsorkategorier");
Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray arraycategories = new Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray();
if (jsoncategories != null) {
    arraycategories = (Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsoncategories);
}

And then later I translate this into the strings that I need to use;

foreach (string s in arraycategories)
{
    switch (s)
    {
        case "371":
            spcategories.Add("Hovedsponsor");
            break;
        case "372":
            spcategories.Add("Stjernesponsor");
            break;
        case "373":
            spcategories.Add("Kultursponsor");
            break;
        case "374":
            spcategories.Add("Erhvervssponsor");
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

Not exactly the perfect solution, since I will have to add a few lines of code if the need to expand the checkbox list should ever arise.

If you crack the code and comes up with a better solution, please let me know.

Cheers, Niels

Instead of using the switch statement to extract values, you can try the following to extra values of selected items

var jsoncategories = items.GetValue("offersToPresent");
Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray arraycategories = new Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray();
if (jsoncategories != null){
    arraycategories = (Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsoncategories);
}

foreach (var item in arraycategories)
{
    var preval = Umbraco.GetPreValueAsString(Convert.ToInt32(item));
    @Html.Raw(preval); // returns prevalue (text values of id)
}

is working on a reply...
