textstring array razor macro uComponents
using the documented example from ucomp's site. Perhaps I am missing something - (textstringArrayPropertyAlias, is changed to my parameter alias)
```
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
<table>
    @foreach (string[] row in Model.textstringArrayPropertyAlias)
    {
        <tr>
            @foreach (var cell in row)
            {
                <td>@cell</td>
            }
        </tr>
    }
</table>
```
my issue is that it is not returning anything... ive tried a number of things,
```
@{var propertyItem = Property.PropertyAlias
{
@PropertyAlias
```
produces the property type for the macro on the template as string, so I know that I am correctly inserting the Macro, just cant seem to get any values from the macro to appear. - also there is no errors, just no values from the array

any pointers?

(umbraco 6.1.4, uComponents_5.5.0, IIS 7.0, .NET VersionASP.Net 4.0/4.5)

Thanks guys!

Hi Marc,

If you output just @Model.textstringArrayPropertyAlias what is displayed?

I'm hoping it's a List<string[]> (or similar)

Thanks, Lee.

Hi Lee! Wow thanks for the response.

I unfortunately do not get anything.. when I output @Model.textstringArrayPropertyAlias

but I do get the value of the propertyType alias when I use:
```
@{var propertyItem = Property.PropertyAlias
}
@propertyItem 
```
So the implementation is exactly what you have in your demo and documentation for the text string Array data type. http://ucomponents.org/data-types/textstring-array/

2 fields,

it should be a List<string[]> but its strangely not liking the razor macro.

for completeness here are all the areas touched for this section:

Sorry if this overkill - but I wanted to include for completeness
```
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext 

@Model.FAQPropAlias
<table>
@foreach (string[] row in Model.FAQPropAlias)
    {
        <tr>
            @foreach (var cell in row)
            {
                <td>@cell</td>
            }
        </tr>
    }

</table>
```
razor macro insertion
```
<umbraco:Macro FAQPropAlias="fAQSectionQA" Alias="FAQStringArrayMacro" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
```
thanks again for your help

I've noticed that when textstring array is used in a Media item all that is returned from that property is a string. I did find a way to convert it into a List but I wish it would just automatically return it... Not sure why the Media section would return different results then the Content section.
```
umbraco.cms.businesslogic.Content mediacontent = new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.Content(media.Id);
var deserializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var items = deserializer.Deserialize<List<string[]>>(mediacontent.getProperty("textstringarrayprop").Value.ToString());
```
