Glass Casting

To cast a list of Guilds (Treelist or Multilist field value):

if (Model.LogbookEntries != null && Model.LogbookEntries.Any())

{

     List<Guid> manuallySelectedEntires = Model.LogbookEntries.ToList();

     LogbookItems = manuallySelectedEntires.Select(x => SitecoreContext.GetItem<BaseLogbookEntry>(x)).ToList();

}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To cast a SC item:

Item tracksFolder = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem("{A248A5F4-87CD-4BDD-9A6E-AA82986F7E2C}");

var glassItem = tracksFolder.GlassCast<IGlassBase>(false, true);

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To cast children of a SC Item:

using Glass.Mapper.Sc;

List<LogbookTrack> Tracks = tracksFolder.GetChildren().Select(item => item.GlassCast<LogbookTrack>()).ToList();

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To cast results of a SC content search:

ISearchIndex index = ContentSearchManager.GetIndex(SearchUtil.Settings.IndexName);

             using (var context = index.CreateSearchContext())

             {

                 List<ID> templatesIdsToFind = new List<ID>

                    {

                        ILogbookArticleEntryConstants.TemplateId,

                        ILogbookPhotoEntryConstants.TemplateId,

                        ILogbookVideoEntryConstants.TemplateId

                    };

                 // Build an "or" predicate for each type

                 var typePredicate = PredicateBuilder.True<LogbookSearchResultItem>();

                 typePredicate = templatesIdsToFind.Aggregate(typePredicate, (current, id) => current.Or(l => l.TemplateId == id));

                 var results = context.GetQueryable<LogbookSearchResultItem>()

                     .Where(typePredicate)

                     .Where(item => item.Language == Sitecore.Context.Language.Name);

                     //.Where(item => item.Content.Contains(searchTerm));

                 int count = results.Count();

                 foreach (var hit in results)

                 {

                     BaseLogbookEntry entry = hit.GetItem().GlassCast<BaseLogbookEntry>();

                     if (entry != null)

                     {

                         LogbookItems.Add(entry);

                     }

                 }
