Did you find a fix for this? I'm having same issue

I ended with something like this:

Func cityDiscountsFilter = delegate(DynamicBackingItem node)
        {
            var cities = node.GetPropertyValue("cities");
            return cities.Contains(CurrentCity);
        };
var root = @Model.AncestorOrSelf();
var cityDiscounts = root.Descendants(cityDiscountsFilter);

Maybe it's fixed in new version of uComponents

http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/26d67e1a7921

Or maybe it can be solved by using http://razordatatypemodels.codeplex.com/

I am experiencing the same issue trying to filter nodes based matching values in a XPathCheckBoxList (Umbraco 6.1.5)

var nodes = Model.AncestorOrSelf().Descendants().Where("articleExpertiseTags == 1068);

<articleExpertiseTags>

            <XPathCheckBoxList>

              <nodeId>1068</nodeId>

              <nodeId>1070</nodeId>

            </XPathCheckBoxList>

</articleExpertiseTags>

Hi Andy,

Have you tried using uQuery GetNodesByXml? It is part of uComponents and designed as a helper for those legacy xpath data types.

Hope that helps,
Matt

Thanks I will have a look. Can you suggest a more appropriate data type to use instead?

is working on a reply...
