    is it possible to access the 'key' value from a nested content item?

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    hey out there,

    something i wanted to check: is it possible to access the 'key' value from a nested content item?

    i've been debugging my code and i can see this coming back for my nested content item:

    [{
    "key": "8b7e1484-834a-43e5-9707-d528cd83a984",
    "name": "item one",
    "ncContentTypeAlias": "myAlias",
    "title": "item one title",
    "price": "150.00"
}]

    using something like this:

    @foreach (var t in Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("myAlias"))
{
    foreach (var publishedProperty in t.Properties)
    {
        @(publishedProperty.Value)<br/>
    }
}

    it only outputs the 'title' and 'price' values...

    i really need the 'key' as i'm working on the basis this is the unique id for the item and we're using it as a selection in a form.

    or am i chasing the wrong monkey up the wrong tree?!

    cheers,

    jake

    You should be able to use the GetKey() extension method in Umbraco.Web namespace. So:

    @foreach (var t in Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("myAlias"))
{
    <p>@t.GetKey()</p>
}

    This is assuming you are using a recent version of Umbraco.
