Question

I am working on creating .NET TBB for Tridion 2011 SP1. I have two fields in the component where one is single valued and other is embedded schema field.

To retrieve the single valued field, i have used

string singlefield= package.GetValue("Component.Fields.singlefield"); 

but to refer multivalued field i have used.

string multi= package.GetValue("Component.Fields.multi.values"); 

But its not fetching the values.

Please help a way of doing it.

Answer 1

I wouldn’t use package.GetValue for any value in a component. Instead, use something like this:

// Get the component
Component c = (Component)engine.GetObject(package.GetByName(Package.ComponentName));
// Get the fields
ItemFields fields = new ItemFields(c.Content, c.Schema);
// get our Embedded schema field
EmbeddedSchemaField emb = (EmbeddedSchemaField)fields["emb"];
// Loop
foreach (ItemFields embeddedfields in emb.Values)
{
    foreach (ItemField field in embeddedfields)
    {
        var tField = field as TextField;
        if (tField != null)
        {
            string something = tField.Value;
        }
    }
}
