    Umbraco 11 - Model.Value - No ModelsBuilder

    Hi everyone

    I'm under Umbraco 11.

    I want to access documentType's property value without using the models builder.

    According to documentation https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/design/rendering-content/, it's Model.Value("alias") but it's not.

    First argument of "Value()" method requires an IPublishedValueFallback. How could I get my property value, what kind of argument should I pass to the method ?

    Does your view have @inherits UmbracoViewPage

    Model.Value("alias") does not require a fallback

    From a view this is working indeed.

    But it's not what I try to achieve. Let me reformulate my question: how could I get the property value of a documentType outside a view?

    To explain what I want. I want to deal documentType's data with my own models because somewhere in my code I don't want Umbraco to be referenced. This means I have to "map" IPublishedContent to my models using Model.Value(...).

    Is this possible without providing an IPublishedValueFallback ?

    You should probably use the IPublishedContentQuery to get your content

    Thanks for your responses.

    Of course I'm already using IPublishedContentQuery. And still it gives me an IPublishedContent I want to map with a model of my own.

    But nevermind... I already found a solution... using ModelsBuilder even if I didn't want to... (opportunity knocks) :-)

    Umbraco does not know anything about your models, only IPublishedContent (unless you use modelsbulder to give you strongly typed content)

    You could try this approach
