Hey Jesper,

It's stored as a dictionary of int arrays

{
    "cell1":[1,2,3],
    "cell2":[2,3,4]
}

So to retrive the values you'd do something like

var widgets = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IDictionary<string, IEnumerable<int>>("widgets");
var nodeIds = widgets["cell1"];

foreach(var id in nodeIds){
    // Do something with the node id
}

Hope this helps.

Matt

Thanks matt .. but this line

Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IDictionary<string,IEnumerable<int>>("widgets");

doesnt compile. It says : is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable'. So I added a missing >

var widgets = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IDictionary<string, IEnumerable<int> >>("widgets");

But now widgets is null ..

If I poke around in immediate window a little I can see:

Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("widgets")
Count = 1
    [0]: {[c22, System.Linq.Enumerable+WhereEnumerableIterator`1[Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent]]}

Sorry to bother you ;)

Suggestion: I think it would be a huge help if complex datatypes like Widget Grid had a helper class to make it super easy for smalldevs like me and nondevs to do pull this off. Great idea isnt it :D

Hey Matt,

Works. Thank you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r13riaRKGo0&feature=kp

For completeness:

    var cellLeft = "c21";    // id in table for content in cell 1 (left) in second row
 var cellRight = "c22"; // id in table for content in cell 2 (right) in second row
 var widgets = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IDictionary<string, IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>>("widgets");
 var nodesRight = widgets[cellRight]; // get nodes
    foreach(var node in nodesRight){
     @Html.Partial("Partials/widget-" + node.DocumentTypeAlias, node) // render partial macros based on alias name
    }

best
