Issue in Accessing Data from Sitecore using Glass Mapper

Question

I have items with children in content tree as below and has to be shown in the same page. We have created a Stronglytyped View of type ModelA for the page:

public class ModelA
{
        public IEnumerable<ModelA > item1 { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<ModelB> item2{ get; set; }
}

Content Tree is:

Item1(Based on Template A and Created ModelA to access)
---Children11(Based on Template A and Created ModelA to access))
---Children12(Based on Template A and Created ModelA to access))

Item2(Based on Template A and Created ModelA to access))
---Children21(Based on Template B and Created ModelB to access))
---Children22(Based on Template B and Created ModelB to access))

We are using GlassMapper to get data and so we have defined ModelA for Children11, Children12 and ModelB for Children21, Children22.

I am able to get children for item1 but not for item2 has it is null. Is it because glass mapper is not able to find them and map it of type ModelB?

Answer 1

I think you'd have to use the SitecoreChildren attribute on the properties to make this work...
