Question

I’m trying to get info from the generated umb Data context, but whenever i use a linq expression i get a exception when i try to execute the following code:

MyUmbracoDataContext umbContext = new MyUmbracoDataContext();
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.Append(umbContext.Products.Count());
return builder.ToString();

Exception:

System.ArgumentNullException:
  Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: attribute

  at System.Xml.Linq.XAttribute.op_Explicit(XAttribute attribute)

  at umbraco.Linq.Core.Node.NodeDataProvider.LoadFromXml[T](XElement xml, T node)

  at umbraco.Linq.Core.Node.NodeTree`1.GetEnumerator()

  at System.Linq.Enumerable.Count[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source)

  at XXX.XXX.Controls.Umbraco.usercontrols.ManageDealers.ToCsv(IEnumerable`1dealers)

The generated code is like this

Answer 1

It was a problem wich has occured before and the solution was getting the parrent and then to children.
We think there is some value floating in the database
