    How to detect if no items have been picked?

    I have this problem for a long time now but I really need to address it.

    I've configured a DAMP datatype to allow for the picking of zero or more items.
    I've got some Razor script that wants to display just the first item which is great if one has been picked but it errors if one has not.

    No matter what checks I try to put in place I cannot get to check for no items without error.

    The basic script:

    @inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
    @using umbraco.MacroEngines;

    @{
        // Get the first image in the collection.
        var image = Model.image[0].Image;
        var url = image.umbracoFile;   
       
        <img src="@url" alt="@image.description" />   
    }

    Can someone help me fix this?

    Regards,

    Matt

    If you try the DAMP Razor Model (use the old Razor version for this code) it has an .Any property which is false if no items are selected.

    Thanks Jeroen,

    I'm using Umbraco v6, should I not be using the 2nd version, DAMP Property Editor Value Converter?

    Regards,

    It's a long story, but there are 2 versions of Razor in Umbraco. You can see it by the inherit code in your Razor file:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage = new MVC Razor

    @inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext = old Macro Razor

    For both I wrote a converter. More info:

    Ah OK, yes I'm not using the MVC rendering engine. I understand.

    Thanks,

    Matt
