Umbraco Core Property Value Converters v2#

Umbraco Package: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-core-property-value-converters
Nuget Package: Install-Package Our.Umbraco.CoreValueConverters
MyGet Latest Build Package: https://www.myget.org/gallery/umbraco-core-property-value-converters

Once installed you cannot access the original raw value of the property by using Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("propertyAlias") however you can access it by using Model.Content.GetProperty("propertyAlias").DataValue.ToString()

The v2 package for Umbraco v7 currently implements converters for the following built-in Umbraco property editors:

• Content Picker - returns IPublishedContent
• Media Picker - returns IPublishedContent
• Multiple Media Picker - returns IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> or IPublishedContent
• MultiNodeTreePicker - returns IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>
• Related Links - returns RelatedLinks

These converters work with both the typed IPublishedContent (Model.Content) and also the dynamic DynamicPublishedContent (CurrentPage). We use some dark magic (StackTrace) to make sure we return the correct model. However if you only use one model you can specify this by adding a optional key to app settings of your web.config, this will avoid the dark magic and therefore improve performance. The optional setting is as follows:

<add key="Our.Umbraco.CoreValueConverters:Mode" value="typed" />
<add key="Our.Umbraco.CoreValueConverters:Mode" value="dynamic" />
