Iterating through ContentArea items
Hi!
The PropertyFor method is a way to render a single property but a Content Area contains a list of links to content items. What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to create links for each item in the Content Area?

I want to render each block in my Content area ( I limit by content area to a specific type)
Since the contentArea is blocks only I should be able to use PropertyFor

Try following code:
@{
var contentLoader = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentLoader>();
if (page != null && page.ContentArea != null && page.ContentArea.Items.Any())
{
foreach (var contentItem in page.ContentArea.Items)
{
var item = contentLoader.Get<YOUR_CONTENT_TYPE>(contentItem.ContentLink);
// output necessary properties from content instance
}
}
}
In each iteration variable `item` should point to concrete content type instance in your ContentArea.

if (CurrentPage.MainContentArea.Items.Any())
{
foreach (var c in CurrentPage.MainContentArea.Items)
{
Response.Write("ContentArea Items" + c.GetContent().Name);
}
}

I wanted to iterator (foreach) through the items of a content area and do a Html.propertyFor() on each of them.
Below example is from a link-list
@foreach (PageData questionPage in Model.Links.ToPages())
{
var questPage = questionPage;
<li>
@Html.PropertyFor(x => questPage)
</li>
}
