MultiPage Property

I am using the MultiPage property developed by Jeremy Norman and Nick Urry. It works fine when listing related EPi pages. The code I use for this is: relatedPagesContainer.DataSource = ((PropertyMultiPage)CurrentPage.Property["relatedPages"]).SelectedPages; relatedPagesContainer.DataBind(); The only problem is that it doesn't list links to external pages. I tried using ((PropertyMultiPage)CurrentPage.Property["relatedPages"]).SelectedLinkItems, but then I get this error: "Unable to cast object of type 'Intergen.EP.Utils.MultipageLinkItem' to type 'EPiServer.Core.PageData'." How can I list anything else besides EpiServer pages? Thanks in advance :)

Hello Steven, I have not worked anything with the linkitems only the epi pages.. but here are my suggestions. I am guessing here that you want the selected pages and the linkitems in same collection? if so you can maybe do like this:


 PageDataCollection pdc = ((PropertyMultiPage)CurrentPage.Property["relatedPages"]).SelectedPages;
 Intergen.EP.Utils.MultipageLinkItemCollection itemcol = (PropertyMultiPage)CurrentPage.Property["relatedPages"]).SelectedLinkItems;
 for(i = 0;i < itemcol.Count;i++)
 {
   pdc.Add(new PageData(itemcol[i].PageLink));
 }
 relatedPagesContainer.DataSource = pdc;
 relatedPagesContainer.DataBind();

(OBS Syntax not tested) You should also be able to use the LinkItemCollection to create a new PageDataCollection if you only want the linkitems in a seperate container. That might work or atleast give you some ideas how to solve your issue.

They are not in the same list actually. But will see if I can use your code in some way.
