What is the error you are facing, I have just tried inside the View for an Article Page on the Alloy Templates and all seems to work
I realized the problem was not in the code with categoryRepository but the next line of code:
var filterBlock = EPiServer.ServiceLocation.ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<FilterBlock>();
This was causing this error:
Exception thrown: 'System.InvalidOperationException' in Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions.dll
I have removed this in code, and it works fine, but what is the substitute for that in .NET Core
Thanks
Im not sure if you are in a view or the block itself
If you are trying to get the Content Type of a particular Block and know its ContentId I would use IContentRepository
e.g.
this.contentRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
// Could cause null reference exception so might be worth going down the .TryGet route
var filterBlock= contentRepository.Get<FilterBlock>(x.ContentLink);
In CMS 12, how to retrieve categories in CMS 12.
When I use this existing code:
var categoryRepository = EPiServer.ServiceLocation.ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<CategoryRepository>();
var filterBlock = EPiServer.ServiceLocation.ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<FilterBlock>();
It's causing errors..please advise.
Thanks
