Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 7

I have a Master Template . In this a defined the heder and the Footer.

The Footer and the Header are Content.

This is my Master Template:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@using ContentModels = Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels;
@{
    Layout = null;
}
<html>
<head>
    <title>@Model.Content.Name</title>
</head>
<body>
    <header>



@{Unull;
    var dd = UmbracoContext.Current.Application.Services.ContentService;
    var help = dd.GetById(1063);

    var Test="";
    Test = "Test";

        }


    </header>
    <div class="content">
        @RenderSection("Connten_Section");

    </div>
    <footer></footer>
</body>

</html>

Now My Problem is. How I Get the Property from the Header. I loade the Header With

var dd = UmbracoContext.Current.Application.Services.ContentService;
var help = dd.GetById(1063);

But Help is From IContect. And I need ContentModels.Header. How I can Cast this or get ContentModels.Header.

Hi Michael. You should'nt use the ContentService to get content, since it queries the database instead of the content cache, which is not good for performance. Also it returns a IContent, which you mentioned. The ContentService should only be used for create/edit/delete operations.

Instead, use the UmbracoHelper methods go fetch content, which returns a IPublishedContent, which you should be able to cast as a ContentModel.

To use the Umbraco helper, simply type @Umbraco.TypedContent(1063) to get your content.

Hope this was helpful! / Dennis

Hi guys,

Is it right that ContentModels.Header is Models Builders class?

Just want to add to Dennis' post that you can cast IPublishedContent object to ContentModels.Header just usual casting in c#
```
var itemTyped = Umbraco.TypedContent(1063) as ContentModels.Header;
```
Thanks,

Alex
