Glass mapper does not load item childeren


We are facing issue in Glass mapper 4.0 where it does not load item children.

Here is our controller class , It is inheriting from GlassController:

public class CarouselController : GlassController
{
    public ActionResult GetCarousel()
    {
        Model = this.GetDataSourceItem<CarouselViewModel>();
        return View(Model);
    }
}

And here is our View Model:

public class CarouselViewModel:Carousel_Folder
{      
    [SitecoreChildren]
    public virtual IEnumerable<Carousel> Carousels { get; set; }
}

we get only the parent node information not the childeren (carousels) in the result

Here is the result we get:

[Result Image][1]

Also, following classes were generated with TDS:

[SitecoreType(TemplateId = ICarousel_FolderConstants.TemplateIdString )] //, Cachable = true
public partial interface ICarousel_Folder : IGlassBase
{}

Carousel template is inheriting from two templates content base and image base.


Solution

  • I had this issue before, for me i added [SitecoreChildren(IsLazy = false)] to my model and it works fine, in your case it should be like this :

    public class CarouselViewModel:Carousel_Folder
    {
    
        [SitecoreChildren(IsLazy = false)]
        public virtual IEnumerable<Carousel> Carousels { get; set; }     
    
    }
