I'm a bit perflexed as to how to use the fluent api. I have a custom control and I want to bind a hyperlink to a specific page.

protected override void InitializeControls(Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.GenericContainer container)

HyperLink homelnk = this.Container.GetControl<HyperLink>("home", true);

var homePage = App.WorkWith().Pages().Where(p => p.Page.Title == "Home").Get().FirstOrDefault();

homelnk.NavigateUrl = homePage.GetUrl();

homelnk.Text = homePage.Page.HtmlTitle;

The problem is that the homePage is always null. When I output the entire list of pages I don't see any of my pages. What am I doing wrong?

Dashboard
Pages
FrontendSiteMap
Users
BackendSiteMap
Roles
....

Hi Dallas Beek,

You need to modify the query for getting the PageNode:

var homePage = App.WorkWith().Pages().Where(p => p.Title == "Home").Get().FirstOrDefault();

if (homePage != null)

...

For more details how to use fluent API please refer to the following documentation article: Fluent API
