    Get content from another page / node

    I'm using Umbraco 10 and in a BlockList item I need to display some "Related posts" which basically is another page / node.

    The Related content is blog postes

    I'm using the "Multinode TreePicker" to choose the blog posts. So far so good – I can get various things like Url, Id, etc. 

    (In my BlockListItem)

var content      = Model.Content as BlogPost;
var relatedPosts = content.RelatedPosts;

foreach (var relatedPost in relatedPosts)
{
       var url          = relatedPost.Url();
       var relatedName  = relatedPost.Name;
       var relatedId    = relatedPost.Id;
}

    But how can I get the contents of the blog post? E.g. a Textstring (Umbraco.Textbox) named "blogName"

    In my head, it would be logic just to write:

    @relatedPost.BlogName

    or maybe

    @relatedPost.content.BlogName

    But it all fails. 😕

    I think I lack some basic understanding of the docs 😅

    Can someone please help me in the right direction?

    you'll need to cast your items similar to below

            @foreach (BlockListItem blockitem in content.DataItems)
        {
            TimelineData item = (TimelineData)blockitem.Content;

        }

    obviously your types will be different

    Wow.. Okay! I spend the whole day yesterday searching for a solution and it turned out to be that simple. 

    (Now In my BlockListItem)

var content      = Model.Content as BlogPost;

foreach (BlogPage relatedPost in content.RelatedPosts)
{
       var url          = relatedPost.Url();
       var relatedName  = relatedPost.Name;
       var relatedId    = relatedPost.Id;

       var blogName     = relatedPost.BlogName; 
}

    Thanks Huw!
