I know that we can access global area item values in module, but unless i am missing something this is not possible for paragraph/itemtype item values right now. So i would really like to suggest this as a feature, since modules and paragraphs/itemtypes are closely related anyway this makes sense in my opinion.

P.S If i am missing something in regards to accessing individual itemtype values from modules please respond :)

Hi Morten

If you have a module (ContentModule base class), you can do like this:

Dynamicweb.Content.Paragraph p = Dynamicweb.Content.Paragraph.GetParagraph(this.ParagraphRow);
Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Queries.Repository repo = new Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Queries.Repository(p.ItemType);
dynamic item = repo.SelectById(p.ItemId);

That will give you the item instance from that paragraph.

You can also do

Pageview.Current().Page.Item

if it is an item based page...

In Razor, you can do something like this:

@functions{

    Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Item GetCurrentParagraphItem()
    {
        var paragraph = this.Pageview.CurrentParagraph;
        var item = Dynamicweb.Content.Items.ItemManager.Storage.GetById(paragraph.ItemType, paragraph.ItemId);
        return item;
    }
}

@{
    var item = GetCurrentParagraphItem();
}

<div>@item["MyField"]</div>
