Accessing Form Data Programatically

I've added a field to many of the items in my site called Sidebar. In the code-behind for my template, I need to check if the current page has a value you for sidebar and if not, load the sidebar of the parent item.

I can retrieve the TreeNode of the current document pretty easily by using the CMSContext.CurrentDocument, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get to the field data.

How would I access data from one of these fields via code-behind?

Hi,

If your TreeNode is properly loaded by CMSContextCurrentDocument then you should be access your fields by GetValue() method. Here is simple example:

CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode node = tree.SelectSingleNode(CMSContext.CurrentSite.SiteName, aliaspath, TreeProvider.ALL_CULTURES);
node.GetValue("myproperty");

We tried the following:
TreeNodeDataSet dataset = TreeHelper.SelectNodes("/%", true, "custom.course", "CourseID = " + courseID);

where courseID is a valid ID of a document of type custom.course.
When we expanded the "result view" in the debug mode we can see that the In the "DocumentName" and the "DocumentNamePath" values are also loaded properly.
But the "Items" property of the dataset is throwing an error:

"base {System.SystemException} = {"Unable to cast object of type 'CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNodeCollection' to type 'CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNodeCollection`1[CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode]'."}"

Any Idea what we might be doing wrong?
