    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

    Data Type FAQ String Array Settings: DocType field cshtml script

    @inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext 

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

</table>

    Macro Macro parameter

    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());
