Programatically Check if the items if the item's version that is returned is a Fall Back

Question

I have a scenario where I have to enable the fallback for a template and on some particular scenarios I have to show the language versions only if it has that particular version. Ex: If it has a non english version show that version only in that language(no fall back) Item.Versions.count>0 returns true if I set Enable fall back to true. Is there a way I check if the version that is returned is fall back version speifically

Answer 1

You can call Item.IsFallback, which returns true if the item in question is fallback item.

Source:

Answer 2

You can use property IsFallBack. As per sitecore's documentation

The Sitecore.Data.Item class

The following properties have been added to the class:

OriginalLanguage – a property that returns the original language for the current item. If the item is not a fallback item, it returns the item.Language.

IsFallback – a property that returns true if the current item is a fallback item.

Answer 3

The Item class (in Sitecore.Kernel.dll, SC 8.1+) has a IsFallback property that will indicate if the item is a fallback item.

/// <summary>
/// Gets a value that indicates if the item is a fallback item.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// <c>true</c> if this item is a fallback item; otherwise, <c>false</c>.
/// </value>
public bool IsFallback
{
    get
    {
    return this._originalLanguage != (Language) null;
    }
}
