Example of using uQuery.IGetProperty with uTwit property-editor.

example.cs

var node = uQuery.GetNode(1234);
var twitter = node.GetProperty<Our.Umbraco.Models.uTwit>("twitter");

// use the uTwit model...
// twitter.ConsumerKey
// twitter.ConsumerSecret
// twitter.OAuthToken
// twitter.OAuthTokenSecret
// twitter.ScreenName

uTwit.cs

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using umbraco;

namespace Our.Umbraco.Models
{
	[SerializableAttribute()]
	[DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
	[XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true)]
	[XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)]
	public class uTwit : uQuery.IGetProperty
	{
		public string ScreenName { get; set; }
		public string OAuthToken { get; set; }
		public string OAuthTokenSecret { get; set; }
		public string ConsumerKey { get; set; }
		public string ConsumerSecret { get; set; }

		public void LoadPropertyValue(string value)
		{
			using (var reader = new StringReader(value))
			{
				var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(uTwit));
				var tmp = (uTwit)serializer.Deserialize(reader);

				this.ConsumerKey = tmp.ConsumerKey;
				this.ConsumerSecret = tmp.ConsumerSecret;
				this.OAuthToken = tmp.OAuthToken;
				this.OAuthTokenSecret = tmp.OAuthTokenSecret;
				this.ScreenName = tmp.ScreenName;
			}
		}
	}
}

Before anyone asks, I could have used either IPropertyEditorValueConverter or IRazorDataTypeModel to handle this. However I was already making good use of uQuery and wanted to explore how the uQuery.IGetProperty works.

Turns out that this ad-hoc non-binding approach worked out very well. :-)
