Problems retrieving list data using DataTypeGrid using nodeType and InnerText

Questions/Suggestions
Hello, I'm hoping someone might have experienced the same problems I am encoutering and might be able to help with a solution.

The issue seems to arrise when I use the .nodeType and .InnerText methods from the razor examples provided here http://ucomponents.org/data-types/datatype-grid/razor-samples/ to retrieve the value of the selected list item from a dropdown datatype.

At first I used the examples with my own custom datatypes but after failing with this, I tried setting up the datatype Grid exactly how the documentation displays them.

In both scenarios, I receive the errors
```
'uComponents.DataTypes.DataTypeGrid.Model.GridCell' does not contain a definition for 'InnerText' 
```
```
'uComponents.DataTypes.DataTypeGrid.Model.GridCell' does not contain a definition for 'nodeType'
```
While setting up the .cshml macro, I recieved the warning;

error CS0104: 'uQuery' is an ambiguous reference between 'umbraco.uQuery' and 'uComponents.Core.uQuery'

I tried both libraries but the errors are still present.

Using Umbraco Version: 4.11.10

Thanks

Hi Dafydd

What version of uComponents are you using? And do you mind sharing the full code sample?

Hi Jan,

Thanks for responding!
I am using version 5.5.4 of uComponents.

Below is the code that I am testing, it's the example from the uComponents docs and it matches what I am trying to achieve. Since I recieve the same errors for both my custom razor and the demo code, it's propbably easier to work with this version.

The datatypes I am using match the datatypes found in this explanation http://ucomponents.org/data-types/datatype-grid/razor-samples/

I can also provide my original .cshtml code if it helps.

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@using uComponents.Core
@using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.datatype


<ul>
    @foreach(var item in Model.DataTypeGrid) {
        @* Inside here, everything is case-sensitive *@
        <li>ID: @item.id
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <th>XML</th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th>Image</th>
                    <td><img src="@Library.MediaById(int.Parse(item.image.InnerText)).UmbracoFile" width="100" height="100"/></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th>Dropdown List</th>
                    <td>
                        <ul>
                        @* Display prevalue name instead of id *@
                        @{ IList<PreValue> preValues1 = umbraco.uQuery.GetPreValues(int.Parse(item.list.nodeType)); }
                        @foreach(var i in item.list.InnerText.Split(',')) {
                            <li>@preValues1.Single(x => x.Id.ToString() == i).Value (#@i)</li>
                        }
                        </ul>
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th>Dropdown Multi</th>
                    <td>
                        <ul>
                        @* Display prevalue name instead of id *@
                        @{ IList<PreValue> preValues2 = umbraco.uQuery.GetPreValues(int.Parse(item.multiList.nodeType)); }
                        @foreach(var i in item.multiList.InnerText.Split(',')) {
                            <li>@preValues2.Single(x => x.Id.ToString() == i).Value (#@i)</li>
                        }
                        </ul>
                    </td>
                </tr>

            </table>
        </li>
    }
</ul>

Many thanks :)

Sorry for the double post I was researching the forum and found a similar issue back in 2012 http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/ucomponents/questionssuggestions/34751-Multiple-Textstring-Error-'string'-does-not-contain-a-definition-for-'InnerText'

I have tried updating the DLL's using a fresh umbraco installation but still no luck :/

ok so I found a solution. I ended using some razor that is different to the examples posted in the uComponents documentation.
The code below coverts the id of the dropdown list to the selected value.
```
var test = @row.locationsDropdown.Value;
@umbraco.library.GetPreValueAsString(Convert.ToInt32(test))
<p>Update here @test</p> 
```
It seems so simple now...
