Fluent() Getting to Library from Documents

Posted by Community Admin on 14-Dec-2011 00:00

This

var docs = App.WorkWith()

.Documents()

.Publihed()

.Where(x => x.Library.Title == this.LibraryName)

.Get()

Fails with this:

Field 'Library' not found on class 'Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Document

Why is that not valid? Is it not an OA managed property?

I can get around it like this, but it's not that efficient is it? Like it would transfer it to an inmemory collection right?

var docs = App.WorkWith()

.Documents()

.Publihed()

.Get()

.ToList()

.Where(x => x.Library.Title == this.LibraryName);

Hello Steve,

The reason for the problems might be that the persisted field is Parent, while Library is a property that is internally retrieved as (<T>)this.Parent; and when you're operating with an IQueryable the Library property is not available unless you have made a ToList() call beforehand. What I'd recommend you as the correct approach is to use Parent:

var docs = App.WorkWith()

.Documents()

.Publihed()

.Where(x => x.Parent.Title == this.LibraryName)

.Get()

All the best,
