Hi Henning

A Modules.UserManagement.User has an ItemType, ItemId and Item property with the information you need.

Hi Nicolai.

Ok thanks i found them now, its just not in the documents http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/api8/#Dynamicweb~Dynamicweb.Modules.UserManagement.User_properties.html

But i cant see the solution to the problem though. If i have an item with a list of items called Projects and call item["Projects"] i get a string, not a list of items.

My goal would be something like item["Projects"].Add(new Item()); item.save(); 

I just want to know the best way of doing this.

Hi Henning

I've asked a developer to dig up some code for you. Will get back by tomorrow.

Hi Henning,

As I understand you have field of type: "Item relation list"  (Item list type is old type - considered as deprecated and not recommended to use)

Then you have the id of an item list in that field and you could manage its relation by functions:

     var myListId = (int)item["Projects"];
     //ItemList.DeleteRelation(myListId, relationItemId);
     //ItemList.AddRelation(myListId, relationItemId, sortIndex);
     item.save();

Best regards,

Hi,

I'm strugguling a bit with this.

I have a codefirst item called "Return" with a field of type "Item Relation List"

If I create an entry in the backend I get the "Id" for the list.

But when I create a new entry with code I get "0" as the id.

 Here is a sample of how I create a new entry for the Item:

    var r = (Return)ItemEntry.Create("Return");
    r.street = Base.Request("address");
    r.zip = Base.Request("zip");
    r.city = Base.Request("city");
    r.Save();

Any ideas why?

Hi Aki,

In that case you should also create a "Item Relation List" for field:
    var r = (Return)ItemEntry.Create("Return");
    ...
    var  itemList = New ItemList("ItemType")
    itemList.Save();
    r.itemListField = itemList.ID;
    r.Save();

Kind regards,

Vladimir

Thanks Vladimir.

I managed to make it work but was not sure it was the right way. Now I am. :)
