Im trying to map Sitecore "Name Value List" field to NameValueCollection using below code which is not working. 

[SitecoreType(AutoMap = true)]
public interface IManifest
{
    string Title { get; set; }

    string Description { get; set; }

    string Author { get; set; }

    [SitecoreField("ErrorMessages")]
    NameValueCollection ErrorMessages { get; set; }
}

all other field values are being mapped except for "ErrorMessages". Does it require additional code/configuration to achieve this?

  • There seems to be a data mapper for both NameValueCollection and Dictionary<,> types (and has been for a few years) which both uses HttpUtility.ParseQueryString() under the hood, so theoretically your code should work unless you are using a very old version. Have you tried using Dictionary<string, string> instead?

  • I'm using version 4.3 which is almost latest one. Dictionary<string, string> is not working as well..

I'm not sure if you can achieve this without any custom code.

But I did find a quick workaround here https://community.sitecore.net/general/f/11/t/3026 :

[SitecoreField(Name_Value_ListFieldName)]
public virtual string Name_Value_List_Raw  {get; set;}  

public NameValueCollection Name_Value_List  {get {return 
HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(Name_Value_List_Raw); }}
