Compare Blocks to BlockProxies

Krzysztof Morcinek

Vote:

The EpiServer internally uses a lot of proxies for Blocks and Pages.

In the ContentArea I placed MyBlock. I would like to get blocks from code. I filter them like:

currentPage.MyContentArea.FilteredContents.OfType<MyBlock>()

but I always get empty list cause currentPage.MyContentArea.FilteredContents is collection of {Castle.Proxies.MyBlockProxy}

How to solve it?

I have just found one possibility to deal with it:

var list = new List<MyBlock>();

foreach (var filteredContent in filteredContents)
{
var myBlock = filteredContent as MyBlock;
if (myBlock != null)
{
list.Add(myBlock);
}
}
