Hi Guys,

I have an ItemType called Settings. One of the fields on this ItemType based page is a relation list.

I have stored in the Area the id of the Setting page and now I am trying to access the list.

My knowledge is limited. I tried:

Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Item generalSettings = Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Item.GetItemById("Settings","215");

Then I tried getting the value of the field :

generalSettings["Menu"] but this returns a number instead of a list of comma separated Id's. I assume the number is the ID of the Relations List.

How do I get the actual list?

Thanks,

Adrian

If anyone else stumbles upon this like I did, the value you get is the id of the itemrelationlist. To get the actual items you need to use the method Dynamicweb.Content.Items.ItemList.GetItemListById(int).Relations. Note that the list will contain items of the type "itemEntry", but you can just cast it to Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Item.

When using Dynamicweb.Content.Items.ItemList.GetItemListById(int).Relations the itemlist items are always read from the database. Is it possible to get a cached version of the itemlist items?
